I believe not; the algorithms for Array.prototype.* are pretty set in stone.
However, recently all iterators gained a currently-empty common prototype [%IteratorPrototype%][1]. This was done so that, in the future, we could define %IteratorPrototype%.{map, filter, etc.}. I think this will be the more fruitful way forward.
