Lexer: “unexpected indentation” with yield followed by implicit object

[izotos]

Possible bug or unintended behavior:

gen = ->
    yield
      k: 'v'

/#try link

Expected Behavior

Compile same as:

gen = ->
    yield k: 'v'
# or
gen = ->
    yield {
        k: 'v'
    }

Current Behavior

Gives compile error:

[stdin]:3:1: error: unexpected indentation
      k: 'v'
^^^^^^

Context

I was expecting to use yield same as functions and statements like return or throw. This type of syntax is quite handy when returning multi key objects.

Environment

• CoffeeScript version: 2.3.0
• Node.js version: 8.4.0

Related to #4532 most directly, and also #4783 and #4599 and #4605. @helixbass any thoughts?

[helixbass]

@GeoffreyBooth yup makes sense to me that yield would follow the same pattern as return/throw/export default, opened #5072

[GeoffreyBooth]

Well that was fast. Does it make any sense to do the same for await? Not sure when you’d be awaiting an object, but it feels like the syntax should be the same for yield, await, throw, return etc.

@GeoffreyBooth ya agreed I'm not sure if you'd ever await an object, but no harm allowing it syntactically, updated #5072
