see comments in gist, adding a library also has some stuff with source maps
that I am not too keen on in particular. I can use libraries to simplify
many things / manage code, but doing similar tasks without using a library
seems more in line w/ my original question (which has been answered).
Either way, for now it seems like generator-iterators won't have references
to themselves and I can just wrap it.
Allan: an interesting idea that does simplify things, updating gist. Still
using a wrapper since even w/ new the generator returns a generator
instance (otherwise I could use instanceof checks).
Note: cleaned up gist somewhat in general / simplified
