Then I would agree that I don't understand the point. I updated the code you posted:

skipped

All I did was replace the narr stuff with map stuff. Note that you can also nest maps, and store and retrieve the data with a single call. Is there a reason you can't simply store the information inside of maps?

Yes, two reasons: 1. It is senseless to store same keys two times. 2. I needn't side effects.

I would say that you're probably better off just coming up with a key, storing the person's structured data as a sequence in a map and using an enum to access the various parts:

enum 
	CITIZEN_FIRST, 
	CITIZEN_LAST, 
	CITIZEN_INCOME 
 
enum 
	SUPERHERO_FIRST, 
	SUPERHERO_LAST, 
	SUPERHERO_TASK

Add a few more types of people (BOSS, CRIMINAL, BEAUTY, ASSISTANT). Each of them has three HUNDREDS of properties. Most of the properties are common to all. You may be hard-working Chinese. I'm lazy Russian. I want to quickly write a program to get a drink of vodka and go ride on a tank drawn by bears.
