Array.prototype.toObjectByProperty( element=>element.property )

[Michał Wadas]

As far as I remember Maps have the same performance as objects in case of
dynamic property access for small collections and better for big ones (I
have value of 255 in my mind, but I can't test it now). And objects do
maintain insert order, at least in some cases.
