E0071: cannot declare 'yield' inside generator function

In non-strict mode, a variable can be named yield. In strict mode and inside generator functions, it is a syntax error to use yield as a variable name:

function *mapRange(end, f) {
  for (let i = 0; i < end; ++i) {
    const
    yield item;
  }
}

To fix this error, complete the variable declaration preceeding yield:

function *mapRange(f, end) {
  for (let i = 0; i < end; ++i) {
    const item = f(i);
    yield item;
  }
}

Introduced in quick-lint-js version 0.2.0.
