/*
    WORKING AROUND GUN WEIRNESS/SUBOPTIMAL (of course, whats weird/sub-optimal to me, might be ideal to someone else) - search the code to see where worked around

    WORKAROUND-GUN-UNDERSCORE .once() and possibly .on() send an extra GUN internal field "_" which needs filtering. Reported and hopefully will get fixed
    .once behaves differently on node or the browser - this is a bug https://github.com/amark/gun/issues/586 and for now this code doesnt work on Node
    WORKAROUND-GUN-CURRENT: .once() and .on() deliver existing values as well as changes, reported & hopefully will get way to find just new ones.
    WORKAROUND-GUN-DELETE:  There is no way to delete an item, setting it to null is recorded and is by convention a deletion. BUT the field will still show up in .once and .on,
    WORKAROUND-GUN-PROMISES: GUN is not promisified, there is only one place we care, and that is .once (since .on is called multiple times).
    WORKAROUND-GUN-ERRORS: GUN does an unhelpful job with errors, for example returning undefined when it cant find something (e.g. if connection to superpeer is down),
        for now just throw an error on undefined
    Errors and Promises: Note that GUN's use of promises is seriously uexpected (aka weird), see https://gun.eco/docs/SEA#errors
        instead of using .reject or throwing an error at async it puts the error in SEA.err, so how that works in async parallel context is anyone's guess
