+Restore behavior from 3.9 and earlier when sending non-None to newly started
+generator. In 3.9 this did not affect the state of the generator. In 3.10.0
+and 3.10.1 ``gen_func().send(0)`` is equivalent to
+``gen_func().throw(TypeError(...)`` which exhausts the generator. In 3.10.2
+onward, the behavior has been reverted to that of 3.9.
