848051 - Allow 'arguments' in generator-expressions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

Generator expressions should inherit 'arguments' from the enclosing lexical scope just like any other name. ...Right? (This turns out to be ridiculously easy to implement. Embarrassed I didn't do it earlier. It just needs some tests.)

So if I'm reading this patch right, all you had to do was *not* throw an error if a generator expression has arguments as a lexical dependency? That's pretty simple, indeed :-)

Anyway, the fix is trivial, and looks well tested, so really I have nothing to add here. r+

I had to change some existing tests to get this through try server -- all of them were specifically testing that 'arguments' was a SyntaxError in a generator-expression.
