this is puzzling me too ... so I've got few cases 1. you want/need a one to many relations, Symbol as key, Array as value, and you play with that Array values as needed per each Symbol used as key in the very same WeakMap 2. you invert the logic and you have a WeakMap that checks per each object of the value Symbol has been set already 3. you want to use that very same Symbol with that object, but that objet is not extensible, so you fallback through a private WeakMap that associates such object instead of using Symbol directly
