Because we're using Map in the background, we don't really require keys to be strings.

Note there are a few disadvantages to this.

If we allow keys to be arrays, we couldn't distinguish between vertex-keys and edge-keys (which are pairs of keys; consistency in key/value combo representations #6).
If objects are used as keys, serialization to JSON will lose information about object identity.
