True, it is not.  Typo, sorry.

It is <https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.25521.63840> instead.

Thanks, that works.

If my German ever improves to the point that I can understand it,
I shall read it ;-)

JFTR: It is <https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.25521.63840/1> now, and in case 
that stops working, too, go to my ResearchGate profile, then “Research 
(items)”, then “Thesis”.  A copy of it is also linked from the ECMAScript 
Support Matrix.

I tried to get rid of nonsensical (instead of the properly included) 
references as misrecognized by ResearchGate, by uploading the PDF document 
again, but to no avail; still the DOI changed, too.

Another reason is that you can't have objects as keys in a map if you
can't tell if two object views are looking at the same object or two
different objects, even if the objects happen to have the same
property values (or none).
