<para>
Sends the given value to the generator as the result of the current &yield;
expression and resumes execution of the generator.
</para>
<para>
If the generator is not at a &yield; expression when this method is called, it
will first be let to advance to the first &yield; expression before sending the
value. As such it is not necessary to "prime" PHP generators with a
<methodname>Generator::next</methodname> call (like it is done in Python).
