In JavaScript Map and Set do not distinguish 0 and -0 as different keys, instead -0 is normalized to 0.

This leads to the following 'bug':

const { Tuple } = require("tuplerone");

if (Math.random() > 0.5) {
    Tuple(Object, -0); // sometimes create this first
} else {
    Tuple(Object, 0); // other times create this first
}

function isNegativeZero(n) {
  return Object.is(n, -0);
}

console.log(isNegativeZero(Tuple(Object, -0)[1])); // sometimes 'true', sometimes 'false'
