It looks like I can access the Generator object indirectly only:

(function(){
    var Generator = (i for(i in null)).constructor;
    Generator.prototype.map = function(fn,$this){
        for each(var i in this){
            yield fn.apply($this,i)
        }
    }

    Generator.prototype.toArray = function(){
        return [i for each(i in this)];
    }
})();

But I can't iterate over the Generator instance, hmm...
