TupleKeyedMap<K extends undefined, V> Class
A map similar to the standard JavaScript Map collection except that the keys must be a tuple (javascript array), and two keys are considered equal if their elements in order are strict-equal, and the tuples have the same amount of elements
This means you can use array literals to key data in Maps that would otherwise be reference-compared if using JavaScript's built in Map
Note that JavaScript's Map type, unlike this one that uses strict equality, uses instead SameValueZero equality comparison
see https://262.ecma-international.org/6.0/#sec-samevaluezero
const map = new TupleKeyedMap([[1,"y"], "value"]);
const value = map.get([1, "y"]); // a normal map would identify these keys as different because they are independent objects
It is implemented by each index of the tuple key being used as a singular key into a submap
note this only implements a subset of the Map interface
