actually I was surprised the apparently mentioned native behavior looked
too much like my Symbol based WeakMap partial poly:
```js
var WeakMap = WeakMap || (function (s) {'use strict';
function WeakMap() {
this[s] = Symbol('WeakMap');
}
WeakMap.prototype = {
'delete': function del(o) {
delete o[this[s]];
},
get: function get(o) {
return o[this[s]];
},
has: function has(o) {
return -1 < Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(o).indexOf(this[s]);
},
set: function set(o, v) {
o[this[s]] = v;
}
};
return WeakMap;
}(Symbol('WeakMap')));
```
weird to say the least, and yet I've no idea why that realm check would be
needed/done/reliable per each WeakMap.
Sorry for the noise, if any
