More recently, Jason implemented 'iterator' for two reasons, I think:

don't think he prevailed (Dean Landolt disagreed).
We aren't putting this out "in the wild" for use by anyone, it's just
a temporary state, which depends on symbol spec resolution for ES6 --
this thread's topic!
Right, I should have been explicit. It's definitely a temporary measure.
Similarly, V8 does some non-spec stuff to make for-of work (I think it
just assumes the object is already an iterator). I just meant it as an
example of a protocol in action (even if as a temporary stopgap).
