This reminds me --- "for-of initiated" here refers all the places
where the spec uses IteratorStep etc., right? Things like the spread
operator, destructuring assignment, and Array.from, for example?

That is, we're talking about a protocol change, not a narrow change to
for-of evaluation. Right?

No one is talking seriously about such a change.

The only proposal (let's table whether the name is 'return' or @@return) is whether for-of constructs should have a finally maybe-call of the iterator's return method, if present. Like SpiderMonkey's JS1.7-1.8 close method, based in part on Python 2.5 and up.
