I'm starting to wonder whether bringing weakrefs is equivalent to having iterable WeakMaps... And if so, why not make WeakMaps iterable?
This is a question I had as well. An iterable WeakMap is nearly the same as a Map full of WeakRefs, is it not? Just a different API that is less usable for single references and more usable for collections.
Interestingly, publish-subscribe would probably make a better use of an iterable weakset (set of observers) I think: When a publication happens, what needs to be done is tell all the (remaning) subscribers. I don't think anyone really needs the weakrefs themselves. Iterating over remaining observers seems to be enough.
