WeakMap throws an error in this code. I guess this example is WeakSet.

const weakMap3 = new WeakMap();
weakMap3.unequal = true;

assert.deepStrictEqual(weakMap1, weakMap2);
// OK, because it is impossible to compare the entries
assert.deepStrictEqual(weakMap1, weakMap3);
// Fails because weakMap3 has a property that weakMap1 does not contain!
```

If the values are not equal, an `AssertionError` is thrown with a `message`
