Have you ever written Node.js code that counts on the implementation specific Object behavior that mantains the insertion order of properties?
It could be useful in configuration, for example, to specify fallbacks if the first choice isn't available. var conf = { database: { pg: "psql://localhost/database" , mysql: "mysql://localhost/database" } }; for (var type in conf.database) { try { useDatabase(require(type), conf.database[type]); } catch (e) { if (e.code != 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND') throw e; } } Great idea or *Greatest* idea?
