→Maps
This returns some permutation of {{Code|(42, 'baz', 456)}}.
Like all other values, ''maps'' are immutable. For example, the {{Code<code>[[Map Module#map:remove|map:remove}} ]]</code> function creates a new map by removing an entry from an existing map, but the existing map is not changed by the operation.
Like sequences, ''maps'' have no identity. It is meaningful to compare the contents of two maps, but there is no way of asking whether they are "the same map": two maps with the same content are indistinguishable.
