[Twisted-Python] Giving inlineCallbacks-wrapped functions access to the deferred their wrapper will return

Yes. And thanks for the rule of thumb.


In any case, I realized that my original idea wont work. _inlineCallbacks
returns the deferred to the caller of the wrapped function early. The
caller could add callbacks to it before the wrapped function does, which
makes the whole idea unworkable.
