Script Preparation code:

var keys = []
var map = new Map()
var obj = {}
var emptyMap = new Map()
var emptyObj = {}


// Hide lookup keys to prevent V8 cheating (AKA Optimizing)
var getConspicuousKey = seed => keys[Math.floor(seed * keyCount)]


// Setup out test objects w/ random values
