Can't there be a 'key iterator' syntax?

for (let value, index of [1, 2, 3]) 
         console.log(index + ": " + value)

let value = itOfValues.next().value;
let index= itOfKeys.next().value;

- An array has an implicit 'key iterator' cause there's a key for each value.
- Everything else has a 'keyIteratorFrom0ToInifinity'

So you have a 'value iterator' and a 'key iterator' for each thing on the RHS.
Doesn't seem like much of an issue, engines just need a keyIteratorFrom0ToInifinity for non-array things cases.
