Btw. In case it isn't obvious I would rather avoid changes to the
WeakMaps proposal that mak

The argument against introducing non-determinism (or GC-dependent determinism)
from maybe a month ago seems much stronger than that of covert channels. A
claim of a reasonable implementation of a production language to be free of
covert channel is rather suspect. E.g., preventing covert communic
