yes, those have been eliminated

yes, next(value) replaces send(value)

No, yield produces a nextResult object.  The last line of the yield runtime 
semantics in 13.4.1.2 is:
         Return the result of GeneratorYield(CreateItrResultObject(value, 
false)).

Note that a iteration result object is being created and passed to the abstract 
operation at does the actual context switch.

No.  via a object that implements the ItrResult (name subject to change)
