Use cases for WeakMap

A value->anything map is pretty easy to do with a normal JS object.

function get(value) {
  if (typeof(value) == 'number') return this["NUM" + value];
  if (typeof(value) == 'string') return this["STR" + value];
  ...
}

Weakness makes no sense in this case since a value can never really be lost.
