According to the latest version of the ES6 draft, section 25.2 [1], the "std:iteration" module exports these names:

* iterator
* GeneratorFunction
* Generator

I have two questions:

1. What does the "iterator" name refer to? My guess is that it is intended to give access the @@iterator symbol.
2. If it represents indeed the @@iterator symbol, is it useful? since we can obtain that symbol via `Symbol.iterator` since rev.19 of the draft.
