But then our behavior of HashMap which doesn't accept the POD integral value of 0 as a key
This behavior is really unexpected and dangerous [1], and we should seriously consider changing it. No doubt lots of bugs caused by this are just waiting to be uncovered. I've been working on WebKit since 2014 and didn't know about this until last month.
Another oddity: I recently learned that AtomicStrings are actually interned strings. WTF. Why not call them that? I had thought for years that they were strings safe to be shared across threads, like other atomics. Not at all. Maybe this was dumb of me, but it could have been avoided by better naming.
