It’s not that dealing with this one way or another is that much of a pain, it’s just frustrating that it often trips people up when they’re expecting array behavior and don’t know what to do when it’s almost array behavior.
Things like Set and Map do well to hint that they are not arrays by using the size property instead of length. Should NodeList perhaps implement this prop name hint, or is it just a matter of browser support?
