How to make an iterator out of an ES6 class

Question

How would I make an iterator out of an ES6 class in the same manner as JS1.7 SomeClass.prototype.__iterator__ = function() {...} syntax?

Documentation: Iteration Protocols

Example class implementing both iterator protocol and iterable protocol techniques:

class MyCollection {
  constructor(elements) {
    if (!Array.isArray(elements))
      throw new Error('Parameter to constructor must be array');

    this.elements = elements;
  }

  // Implement "iterator protocol"
  *iterator() {
    for (let key in this.elements) {
      var value = this.elements[key];
      yield value;
    }
  }

  // Implement "iterable protocol"
  [Symbol.iterator]() {
    return this.iterator();
  }
}

Access elements using either technique:

var myCollection = new MyCollection(['foo', 'bar', 'bah', 'bat']);

// Access elements of the collection using iterable
for (let element of myCollection)
  console.log('element via "iterable": ' + element);

// Access elements of the collection using iterator
var iterator = myCollection.iterator();
while (element = iterator.next().value)
  console.log('element via "iterator": ' + element);
