It seem strangely inconsistent not to make it a global. I've had to access
GeneratorFunction using the aforementioned method when I was writing an
async view engine to dynamically create rendering functions like so:
var GeneratorFunction = (function *() {}).constructor;
var functionBody = "";
// parse view
return new GeneratorFunction(functionBody);
Accessing it via the constructor seems very sloppy.
