But you know that, it's indeterministic and implementation is free to
reorganize pointers?
a = {}; b = {};
Object.compare(a,b); // 1
gc.enforceGC();
Object.compare(a,b); // -1
So any userland structure can't rely on persistence of order.
Moreover, such ordering can be implemented with WeakMap.
const wm = new WeakMap()
let i = 0;
function getId(obj) {
if (!wm.has(obj))
wm.set(obj, i++);
return wm.get(obj);
}
