I think I've suggest in the past that what we are currently calling "WeakMap" should just be called "ObjectMap" or something like that. I can't think of any use case where object identify is used as a map key and you don't want the "WeakMap" semantics. Essentially "WeakMap" just means "NonLeakyObjectMap".
