Hi there,
I want to add `Map#assign` to TC39 Stage 1.
ECMAScript `Object` has `Object.assign`.
On the other hand `Map` doesn't have assigning method.
For example, we must write JavaScript like the following:
```js
const mapA = new Map([["foo", 1], ["bar", 2]]);
const mapB = new Map([["baz", 3], ["foo", 4]]);
const mapC = new Map([["baz", 5], ["foo", 6], ["hoge", 7]]);
```
```js
for (const [key, value] of mapB) {
mapA.set(key, value);
}
for (const [key, value] of mapC) {
mapA.set(key, value);
}
// Map(4) {"foo" => 6, "bar" => 2, "baz" => 5, "hoge" => 7}
console.log(mapA);
```
This code is redundant. I just want to write `mapA.assign(mapB, mapC);`.
## More Detail
Implementation example:
```js
Map.prototype.assign = function(...args) {
// validation
if (typeof this !== "object") { throw new TypeError; }
if (this doesn't have [[MapData]] internal slot) { throw new TypeError; }
for (const arg of args) {
if (typeof arg !== "object") { throw new TypeError; }
if (arg doesn't have [[MapData]] internal slot) { throw new TypeError; }
}
// iterate and set
for (const map of args) {
for (const [key, value] of map) {
this.set(key, value);
}
}
}
```
