Description

This will allow dispatching to types that aren't always Base.Generator

Contributor guide

Research direction
Understand the current lowering of generators and trace where `Base.Generator` is created. Then modify the lowering to use `Iterators.map` instead, ensuring all existing tests pass and considering edge cases where types may not be `Base.Generator`.
