| <p>The value field [[AsyncContextValue]] in the list [[AsyncContextMapping]] of an Agent Record is only intended to be accessed via an [[AsyncContextKey]] field. The list is not iterable through AsyncContext APIs.</p> | ||
| <p>The above definition implies that, if a value in the [[AsyncContextKey]] field in an Async Context Mapping Record is not live, then its corresponding value of [[AsyncContextValue]] is not necessarily live either.</p> |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think the semantics here could be better expressed in two steps:
- A live
[[AsyncContextMapping]]does not necessarily keep its[[AsyncContextKey]]s alive - For a live
[[AsyncContextMapping]], if an[[AsyncContextKey]]is not live, its corresponding[[AsyncContextValue]]is not necessarily kept alive.

The [[AsyncContextMapping]] is never going to be a WeakMap equivalent storage, providing operations like
delete,get,has, orset. It is only intended to say that the value in anAsync Context Mapping Recordis only necessarily live when its corresponding key is live.Fixes: #76
