Re: [IndexedDB] Behavior of IDBObjectStore.get() and IDBObjectStore.delete() when record doesn't exist

I was only suggesting this as it makes the operations symmetrical in the
sense that if "get" returns undefined for "key does not exist",
"put(undefined, key)" should mean make this key not exist, in a declarative
sense.

For me this is clearer than the alternatives (which may require exceptions
to deal with some cases).

Of course its only a suggestion, and it nobody likes it, feel free to ignore
it.


Cheers,
Keean.
