Description
I think adding dynamic maps (using the existing { key value, key value } syntax would be a nice and not overly hard thing to do. Obviously it should replicate as much as possible of the existing functionality (and names) of the static Map module.
One interesting design choice is whether to have something like the keywords of Clojure (e.g. :stuff) or if we're fine with just symbols, which would look something like this:
{ 'stuff 10, 'more-stuff 20 }
What do you all think?
