Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

}
console.log('f.isGenerator() = ' + f.isGenerator()); // f.isGenerator() = false
console.log('g.isGenerator() = ' + g.isGenerator()); // g.isGenerator() = true
