I believe it is impossible to do even a partially functional polyfill for Maps and Sets in ES5. Indeed, the only way to iterate through it is with the 'for (… of …)' construct, which is sure to break in ES5.
I wish there was a way to polyfill it. Something like 'Map.prototype.getKeys' could return an array of key entries, for instance. Obviously, Sets would benefit from the same treatment. In the case of Sets especially, I can see this method as being something that everybody would end up writing many times manually, similar to how they now write the boilerplate to treat 'arguments' like an Array, over and over again. Could we consider something like that, please? _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
