First I think the docs on these to functions
are too confusing.

Example : The save_map says you can only save values
of printable characters. Then in note it says you can
save numeric values ??

The load_map needs to use some special file techniques ?
using verbose 3 ???? etc. I have know idea what that means
when the example is reading a text file ?

I don't understand why save_map and load_map can't just
save each record out and load in each record to recreate
a saved map.

These functions have no value because the same can be done
with a simple ini file to load options as shown in the example.

If Rob could save and read ANY record to and from the database.e
file then why can't map files use the same methods?

I can see many uses and advantages to having these two functions
but not the way they are implement now.
