The idea of `WeakMap` is that we can store something for an object that exists only while the object exists. But we do not force the object to live by the mere fact that we store something for it.
```js
weakMap.put(john, "secret documents");
weakMap.set(john, "secret documents");
// if john dies, secret documents will be destroyed
```

`WeakSet` behaves similarly:
- It is analogous to `Set`, but we may only add objects to `WeakSet` (not primitives).
- An object exists in the set while it has reachable from somewhere else.
- An object exists in the set while it is reachable from somewhere else.
- Like `Set`, it supports `add`, `has` and `delete`, but not `size`, `keys()` and no iterations.
For instance, we can use it to keep track of whether an item is checked:

`WeakMap` and `WeakSet` are used as "secondary" data structures in addition to the "main" object storage. Once the object is removed from the main storage, so it only stays in `WeakMap/WeakSet`, they clean up automatically.
