DEPRECATED: New ES6 Map Spec cannot be shimmed

es6-map-shim - A polyfill for ES6 Maps

This is a destructive shim that implements the ES6 Map specification as closely as possible.

It is slow (lookups in O(n) time for now) and not intended for use in a production environment.

var map = new Map([['foo', 'bar'], [-0, function(){}]]);
map.set(null, 42);

map.get(-0);
=> function(){}

map.has(null);
=> true

map.keys();
=> ['foo', -0, null]

map.values();
=> ['bar', function(){}, 42]

map.items();
=> [['foo', 'bar'], [-0, function(){}], [null, 42]]

map.forEach(function(value, key, mapReference) {
  console.log(typeof value);
});
=> 'string'\n'function'\n'number'\n

var iterator = map.iterator();
iterator.next();
=> ['foo', 'bar']
iterator.next();
=> [-0, function(){}]

map.delete(null);
=> true

// Remove all items
map.clear();
map.size;
=> 0

map.toString();
=> '[object Map]'
