Not built in, but ES6 does provide a better story for this using
generators and for-of:
```js
// using a generator function
function* entries(obj) {
for (let key of Object.keys(obj)) {
yield [key, obj[key]];
}
}
// an alternative version using a generator expression
function entries(obj) {
return (for (key of Object.keys(obj)) [key, obj[key]]);
}
for (let [key, value] of entries(myObj)) {
// do something with key|value
}
```
