have you considered using js polyfills to help you get closer to 100% coverage and then replacing with native implementations prioritized by performance impact?

Not really, no. Its an interesting proposition, but for the most part I believe I'll be sticking it out the "hard way". The ECMAScript spec is fairly easy to read as well, after all. (Nevermind that I spent the single free hour I had today cursing at my incapability of understanding what is going wrong with my iterator code and what it even should do vis-à-vis the spec :D )
