💻 Code

// @target: es5
// @lib: esnext

const ar = [1, 2, 3, 4];
ar.values().map(i => i * 2); // [2, 4, 6, 8]

function * f() {
  yield * [1, 2, 3, 4];
}
f().map(i => i * 2); // error: 'f(...).map' is not a function

🙁 Actual behavior

The last line above throws even when Iterator.prototype is present, be it from the host or a polyfill.

🙂 Expected behavior

The last line above should not throw when the global Iterator.prototype is present and can be used as a prototype.
