`yield()` delivers input data as a result of the query.

A query may have multiple yields, each identified by unique name specified in
the `name` parameter.

**Note:** `yield()` is implicit for queries that output a single stream of
tables and is only necessary when yielding multiple results from a query.

##### Function type signature

```js
(<-tables: stream[A], ?name: string) => stream[A] where A: Record
```
