8. Repeat for each Record {[[key]], [[value]]} e that is an element of entries, in original key insertion order
a. If e.[[key]] is not empty, then
Can you clarify what is meant by "is not empty"? Current prototype implementations allow any of "" (empty string), false, null or undefined as a valid map key.
That should probably be *empty*.
*empty* is a specification value (it's not an ECMAScript value) that is generally used to indicated that an internal field has not yet been assigned an ECMASript value. See 8.2.3. I probably should make this definition more explicit.
If you look at the Map delete method you will see that delete is specified as setting the key of a key/value record to *empty*. This is totally a specification device for talking about the effect of delete.
Ok, that makes sense. The issue was that the implementor had translated that to something like...
for (let [k, v] of map) {
if (k) {
...
}
}
Which didn't seem right considering the accepted keys cases
added to clarify note to Map/Set/WeakMap/WeakSet delete specifications.
