Which is OK, I’m more worried about generators behaving differently in reaction
to `return()` than, e.g., array iterators. With the latter, you can continue
iterating if you break from a `for-of` loop, with the former, you (generally)
can’t. Either behavior is OK, but it should be consistent: Is `return()` for
optional clean-up (array iterators) or does it really close an iterator
(generators)?
The way that `return()` is handled in generators (via try-catch) means that the
clean-up action is called in both cases: generator exhaustion and generator
closure. If you don’t use a generator then a clean-up action in `return()` is
only called if the iterator is closed, not if it is exhausted. Obviously that
is a minor technical detail and easy to fix (call the clean-up action when you
return `{ done: true }`), but it’s still an inconsistency (which wouldn’t exist
if `return()` was called in either case).
