If this can be made to work - even hackily - can it be added into
contextlib.contextmanager (or technically its helper class)?
Currently, its __enter__ looks like this:

    def __enter__(self):
        try:
            return next(self.gen)
        except StopIteration:
            raise RuntimeError("generator didn't yield") from None

If that raise were replaced with the hackiness of skipping the body,
we could wrap everything up nicely:

@contextlib.contextmanager
def iff(thing):
    if thing: yield thing
    # otherwise don't yield

for i in range(1, 11):
    with iff(random.randrange(3)) as val:
        print(i, val) # won't print any zeroes
