Indeed. Here is a version that don't start computation early.

```js
const ignoreFirst = genFn => class extends genFn {
    next(x) {
        delete this.next // next calls to `next` will use directly the super method
        super()
        return super(x)
    }
}

var echo = ignoreFirst(function* echo() {
    var x
    while (true) {
        x = yield x
    }
})

var iter = new echo // note: `new` is needed for correct subclassing!
iter.next(4) // {value: 4, done: false}
iter.next(1) // {value: 1, done: false}
iter.next(6) // {value: 6, done: false}
```
