A warning if using the code above. There is a bug in the set method if the same key is used multiple times. This will cause multiple weak references for the same key in the #refMap. A simple solution is to call this.delete(ref)
after creating the WeakRef .
map = new IterableWeakMap():
const key1 = Symbol('1');
map.set(key1, 'TEST_1');
map.set(key1, 'TEST_1_1');
map.values() // Returns ['TEST_1', 'TEST_1_1']
