 * On the other hand, it is allowed to change method signatures, however, it is recommended to add new parameters as optional if possible. Deprecated API can be dropped during major release.
 * Enumerations (`Enum` classes) are allowed and recommended. However, it is recommended to use `StrEnum` class if there are from/to string conversions and `IntEnum` otherwise.
+* `Generator` return type is not allowed. Generator functions must return generic `Iterator` object. Documentation should be described as `Yields`, however, because of pylint checks. Unfortunately, `Iterable` return type is not available for generators also, because of specific `contextlib.contextmanager` case.
