Maps with sequential keys rendered as array about firego

Closing this since it's not a firego issue.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to be more Go related than firego related since all that's used is unmarshal:

firego/watch.go

Lines 44 to 51 in 15b273f

	// Value converts the raw payload of the event into the given interface.
	func (e Event) Value(v interface{}) error {
	var tmp struct {
	Data interface{} `json:"data"`
	}
	tmp.Data = &v
	return json.Unmarshal(e.rawData, &tmp)
	}

Hey @natdm , thanks for opening up an issue. This behavior is actually a Firebase behavior. Take a look at these curl commands.

First we fetch the reference and see that it comes back as a map

~ curl https://firego-a08e8.firebaseio.com/issue88.json | jq
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100   133  100   133    0     0    708      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--   707
{
  "3": {
    "338": {
      "hello": "world"
    },
    "339": {
      "hello": "world"
    },
    "340": {
      "hello": "world"
    }
  },
  "5": {
    "385": {
      "hello": "world"
    },
    "386": {
      "hello": "world"
    }
  }
}

Now we go ahead and add a 4 in the map

~ curl -XPATCH https://firego-a08e8.firebaseio.com/issue88.json --data '{"4":"foo"}'
{"4":"foo"}%                                                                    

We fetch the reference again, and see how it comes back as an array.

~ curl https://firego-a08e8.firebaseio.com/issue88.json | jq
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100   146  100   146    0     0    764      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--   768
[
  null,
  null,
  null,
  {
    "338": {
      "hello": "world"
    },
    "339": {
      "hello": "world"
    },
    "340": {
      "hello": "world"
    }
  },
  "foo",
  {
    "385": {
      "hello": "world"
    },
    "386": {
      "hello": "world"
    }
  }
]
