Find from array using function reference
functionHandlersToFind.forEach((fnHandler) => arrayHandlers.find(handler => handler === fnHandler))
Find by object keys
hashesToFind.forEach((hash, ix) => objectHandlers[hash])

Access an stored element through object property key vs array filtering. Util for handlers references, when you need to store handlers and have acces for them later.
