--------------------------------------
PLRM 2nd Edition
January 26, 1994
Operators
8.2 Operator Details

yield
–
suspends the current execution context until all other contexts
have had a chance to execute; see section 7.1, “Multiple Execution
Contexts.” This should not be used as a synchronization primitive,
because there is no way to predict
how much execution the other contexts will be able to accomplish. The
purpose of yield is to break up long-running computations that
might lock out other contexts.

Errors: (none)
-------------------------------------

I can find no other mention of yields except the one you found in the
third edition.
