While we had been trying to fit Map's semantics into JSON's object,
the solution had been in front of us all along: It's impossible!
`new Map()` takes a list of pairs and not an object, because objects are inherently
less powerful than Maps.
By also using list of pairs to describe `Map`, we finally can serialize
`Map<RegExp, V>` or `Map<{}, V>`.
See introduced tests in `index.test.ts` for reference! :D

While we had been trying to fit Map's semantics into JSON's object, the solution had been in front of us all along: It's impossible!
That's why
new Map(...)takes a list of pairs instead of an object.This PR suggests to also use a list of pairs to serialize
Map, which allows us to distinguish different objects from one another and also support non-primitive values.This PR may be a bit hard to comprehend, so please go forward and ask all the questions you like ^^
