Since both Array.from and [..spread] already covers every single iterable
and arraylike case now and forever, there is very little benefit (none?) in
also specifying a toArray method on the prototype of every object that is
capable of creating an iterable.

Since both `Array.from` and `[..spread]` already covers every single iterable
and arraylike case now and forever, there is very little benefit (none?) in
also specifying a `toArray` method on the prototype of every object that is
capable of creating an iterable.
