I tallied the votes.
Function: Mail Mantis, bearophile, Jacob Carlborg, Olivier Pisano, Ary
Manzana, torhu.
Property: Nick Sabalausky, Simen Kjaeraas.
I wasn't able to discern a clear vote from the others. Please correct
the list.
I'm divided. If it were keys and values, I'd be all for property, but byValue
and byKey are weird property names. Of course, they're weird function names
too. I assume that they essentially stand for iterateByValue and iterateByKey,
which would be more of a function name, but they don't really iterate. Rather,
they return something which you can iterate over.
So, from a usage perspective, it definitely makes more sense as a property, but
from a naming perspective, it's a bit off. I don't really have a better
suggestion though, since values and keys are already taken. So, I'm fine with
it either way. There's going to be something weird about it regardless.

Agreed - if it were keys and values, property would be perfect. The
names themselves are a bit weird, though.
