Should %ArrayIteratorPrototype%[@@iterator] move to %IteratorPrototype%?

# Boris Zbarsky (11 years ago)

people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-%arrayiteratorprototype%-@@iterator seems like something that would be useful on all iterators. In particular, people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-%mapiteratorprototype%-@@iterator looks identical, as does people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-%setiteratorprototype%-@@iterator as do methods we're having to add to Web IDL iterators.

It seems like it would be simpler to just put this on %IteratorPrototype% so all iterators pick it up automatically.

This actually was agreed upon at the last TC39 meeting :)

tc39/tc39-notes/blob/master/es6/2014-09/sept-23.md#41-spec-status-report see especially "Conclusion/Resolution".

Unsure what Allen's progress is on releasing the latest draft, but I anticipate it'll be in there.
