Splitting into smaller modules? #100

This project is really awesome, and the v2 branch is looking good with less intrusive monkey patching. :+1:

Maybe once things get a bit more stable, it would be worth pulling some of the utilities into their own modules. The main benefit is version management. So you can bump major/minor/patch versions of, say, "fast-map" independently of all the other collections. The collections can remain backwards-compatible as an entry point to the other modules (like you're already doing with weak map).

Managing the scope of a package or project is a difficult balance. In this case, there is a lot of interdependence among collections and a lot of value gained from cross-testing each of similar classes of collection. From a project management standpoint, it is easier to maintain a uniform level of quality across all collections as they are in a single package. I don’t intend to break this one up.

Fair enough !
