Re: [whatwg/storage] Bucket hooks (#18)

Just to be crystal clear (still waking up ☕ vs. multiple levels of indirection), the usage of the storage area's map is up to the particular storage API, i.e. for localStorage the map's keys/values are literally the (local) storage area's keys/values; for Indexed DB the keys/values would be database names/database constructs, for Cache Storage the keys/values would be cache names/caches, etc. Or a storage API could have a single entry in its storage area, and put all of its structure inside the single value. The need for this map is just because it's a common pattern across all storage APIs. 

"Storage area" as a term seems to conflict with HTML's use for localstorage, but maybe they can coalesce? Or HTML can get a new term as part of refactoring to align with this. (I don't think it's formally defined in HTML?)

I think this proposal works for Indexed DB.
