A few places exist where slick syntax is mistaken for actual values.
That always leads to a weird place.

That is one reason that I generally avoid using the special map syntax
over the functional interface to maps with the exception of explicit
unification matches. (Which still can't do everything I wish they
could, but I assume that is coming since everyone feels the same way
about that stuff.)
