Another library by the productive Nicolas Petton. map.el is a cousin to
seq.el (remember?), but instead of manipulating plain sequences, it
manipulates map-like collections (also known as dictionaries).
The range of functions should include everything you expect, from map-values
and map-keys to get a list of the values and keys (duh), to general getters
and setters like map-elt and map-put. Inside it, you’ll even find some
fancier stuff like map-let, map-values-apply, or map-nested-elt. For those
who know what that means, it also comes with a pcase macro!
Note that this library does not introduce a new data structure. It simply
provides a consistent and unified API for dealing with any map-like structure
you need. This applies to alists, hash-maps, and even vectors (it treats the
vector as a dictionary whose keys are all integers).
