Following solution will work:
(function(){
const wm = new WeakMap();
Symbol.identity = Symbol( 'Symbol.identity' );
let i = 0;
Object.defineProperty(
Object.prototype,
Symbol.identity,
{
get: function () {
if (wm.has(this)) return wm.get(this);
wm.set(this, Symbol(i++));
return wm.get(this);
}
}
);
})()
