A foolish consistency...

We also use 'hasOwnProperty' and 'forEach' and 'toLocaleString' in JS. Why not 
use those names? Because it's not the same operation. Neither is it the same 
thing as .length. An array is a sequential data structure, so it uses .length. 
A map and a set is not a sequential data structure, so it should not.
