The general form of maps is <c>#{PairList}</c>. The key types in

- takes precedence. A map value does not belong to this type if contains a key

- Because it is common to end a map type with <c>any() =&gt; any()</c> to denote
- that keys that do not belong to any other pair in <c>PairList</c> are
- allowed, and may map to any value, the shorthand notation <c>...</c> is
