Is it possible to reset an ECMAScript 6 generator to its initial state?

Question

Given the provided (very simple) generator, is it possible to return the generator back to its original state to use again?

var generator = function*() {

Whenever you need to "reset" an iterable, just toss the old one away and make a new one.

var generator = function*() {
    yield 1;
    yield 2;
    yield 3;
};
const makeIterable = () => generator()

for (let x of makeIterable()) {
    console.log(x);
}

// At this point, iterable is consumed.
// Is there a method for moving iterable back
// to the start point by only without re-calling generator(),
// (or possibly by re-calling generator(), only by using prototype 
//  or constructor methods available within the iterable object)
// so the following code would work again?

for (let x of makeIterable()) {
    console.log(x);
}
