Extend JavaScript Array prototype with method to iterate entries in reverse?

Putting aside concerns about modifying JavaScript's Array.prototype for now, how would I go about writing a custom method on the Array prototype that returns an iterator in reverse? Specifically, I'd like to provide an entriesReverse() method that does exactly what Array.prototype.entries() does except in reverse order. I've got as far as a bespoke function:

const entriesReverse = (array) => ({
    [Symbol.iterator]() {
        let index = array.length;
        return {
            next: () => ({
                value: [--index, array[index]],
                done: index < 0
            })
        }
    }
})

but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to implement this as a method on the existing Array prototype. The problem seems to be trying to refer to 'this' inside the Symbol.iterator block - it doesn't refer to the array itself but to the iterator. Any thoughts?

It'll be easier to use a generator function. Call the original .entries() and turn it into an array of the entries, then iterate backwards over that array and yield each item.

Array.prototype.entriesReverse = function*() {
  const entries = [...this.entries()];
  for (let i = entries.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    yield entries[i];
  }
};

for (const entry of ['a', 'b', 'c'].entriesReverse()) {
  console.log(entry);
}

Another option:

Array.prototype.entriesReverse = function*() {
  yield* [...this.entries()].reverse();
};

for (const entry of ['a', 'b', 'c'].entriesReverse()) {
  console.log(entry);
}
