Help with removing __iterator__ from JS

[David Bruant]

Hi Paolo,

The ES6 iterator protocol is what you're looking for. See:
* 
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/04/es6-in-depth-iterators-and-the-for-of-loop/
* 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol/iterator

Alongside with the computed property syntax, you should be able to 
achieve what you want. Something along the lines of:
------------
function makeIterableEventList(el){
     el[Symbol.iterator] = function(){ /* define iterator here*/ }
     return el;
}

   events: {
     [Symbol.iterator]: function(){ /* define iterator here*/ }
     mainview: makeIterableEventList({
       focus(event) {},
     }),
     filter: makeIterableEventList({
       input(event) {},
     }),
   },

   this.boundEventHandlers = [
     for ([elementName, events] of this.events)
     for ([eventName, handler] of events)
     [elementName, eventName, handler.bind(this)]
   ];
---------------

It should work in Firefox today (at least the Symbol.iterator and 
computed object prop parts. Not 100% sure about the array comprehension 
as I haven't tested)
