LGTM with a few nits. Are we sure we want to put this on util as opposed to a new module?
I would lean more towards a types module, but am fine either way. Thanks for doing this!!

Something that may be surprising to JavaScript developers unfamiliar with iterators is that the iterators returned from .keys()

This function is implemented as value !== null && typeof value === 'object'

Maybe also mention that even though functions are also objects, isObject
historically returned false

@TimothyGu I’d guess you’d usually just check for presence of the methods? It’s not “reliable” in the sense that the V8 method is, but I didn’t see much benefit in including this, plus (and I could be completely wrong about that) I’d guess that this doesn’t work on transpiled generator functions anyway?
I’m happy to include it if you think it makes sense.

Is --pending-deprecation

/cc @jasnell, I suppose.
Also, --pending-deprecation
(and it being a semver-minor
) is not mentioned in COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md#deprecations, but that's probably a separate issue.

@jasnell I can’t really agree … the “why” is, it’s a preference. I personally don’t think it’s a good idea, but it’s what Node decided to migrate to?
Saying “these are primarily useful for debugging” doesn’t really seem more helpful, because it doesn’t even say how you’d use these methods for debugging…
