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

Run results for: Object key vs Array Filter

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.
