map

A type which creates a mapping from the given name to the given value. Alternatively it can be thought of as a list of name/value pairs.

Other Map type values will be merged in with this map if the value is un-named. If a name is supplied they will remain as mapped maps.

A mapped type can be used as an input where it will have the same format as a properties file.
