Yes, although it's not implemented in V8 just yet. Once for-of and
generator-expressions are implemented, a lot of these operations will
become a lot nicer at the language level (rather than relying on cludgy
`suspend.map()` or whatever helpers).
Here's an example from the ES6 Wiki [1]:
(xhrGet(url) for (url of getURLs())) // hawt
