Description
Values are still assigned to predictable properties.
## Solution
Keep track of previous used property names and pick one at random when assigning.
```javascript
nofux.set('prop1', 'value1');
nofux.set('prop2', 'value2');
// Could (never should) lead to:
console.log(nofux.prop1); // 'value 2';
console.log(nofux.prop2); // undefined;
```
### ES2015 Proxies
By using [proxies](http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/index.html#sec-proxy-constructor) ([example](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7891937/is-it-possible-to-implement-dynamic-getters-setters-in-javascript)), normal syntax can be used to set the properties.
```javascript
nofux.prop1 = 'value1';
nofux.prop2 = 'value2';
// Could (never should) lead to:
console.log(nofux.prop1); // 'value 2';
console.log(nofux.prop2); // undefined;
```

Research direction
No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the property-assignment implementation and reviewing how property names are currently tracked; done means repeated assignments no longer preserve predictable property mappings while the shown direct-assignment syntax remains supported.
