thing is ... it's not really that trivial.
What if you decide to define a property/value as undefined ?
In this case the equivalent is, AFAICT
function d(map, key, defaultValue) {
return map.has(key) ? map.get(key) : defaultValue;
}
so that
counts.set(word, d(counts, word, 0) + 1);
the fact is that map.set({}, undefined) is allowed/valid so it's easy to go
down to ambiguity
var m = new Map;
m.set(m, undefined);
m.has(m); // true
