Compatibility
This polyfill has following few limitations.
- WeakMap
iterable
argument is not supported. (23.3.1.1 WeakMap ( [ iterable ] )) - Frozen and sealed objects are not supported.
- The values held by a WeakMap can't be collected once the map itself is GCed, since the values here are tied to the keys. #4
