How to access the value of an array key in a Javascript Map object?

I wrote this message in StackOverflow and just before clicking the Send button I stumbled upon the solution. I don’t want to lose it, and I don’t have time today to publish the solution, so I decided to do it in two parts. First, publish the question and later (tomorrow?) publish the solution. Here we go!

I can set() a value using an array as a key in a JS Map, but it seems that there isn’t a clean interface to access that same value using the symmetric get() method:

  let z = new Map {}
 
    z.set([1,2], "a"); // Works as expected: Map { [ 1, 2 ] => 'a' }
 
    z.get([1,2]); // undefined (!)

I suspect that this behaviour has something to do with the fact that in JS:

 [1,2] == [1,2] 
    false

I can use [1,2].toString() as a key and then the z.get([1,2].toString()) method works as expected, but I’m wondering if there is in any other «cleaner» way to code that.

UPDATE:
Well, Map objects are a new addition of ES6. And it seems that ES6 has a problem with Maps if you are trying to use them with object keys. This has been discussed here
https://esdiscuss.org/topic/maps-with-object-keys and here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21838436/map-using-tuples-or-objects .

A solution that WorksForMe was proposed in that same StackOverflow thread, using an ad-hoc built HashMap class, that takes a hash function as parameter to properly store and use object keys (specifically, for my problem, array keys)

function HashMap(hash) {
  var map = new Map;
  var _set = map.set;
  var _get = map.get;
  var _has = map.has;
  var _delete = map.delete;
  map.set = function (k,v) {
    return _set.call(map, hash(k), v);
  }
  map.get = function (k) {
    return _get.call(map, hash(k));
  }
  map.has = function (k) {
    return _has.call(map, hash(k));
  }
  map.delete = function (k) {
    return _delete.call(map, hash(k));
  }
  return map;
}

I have used it as follows (note that JSON.stringify is NOT a hash function, but as I said, it works for my example because I certainly know that my array values are not going to have duplicates). I should think about a proper hash function or use something from here, but as I said, I’m lazy today 🙂

  let z = new HashMap(JSON.stringify);
  z.set([1,2], "a");
  z.get([1,2]); // "a"
