Vic, this recommendation is completely wrong and borderline dangerous.
Maps are not dynamic. Maps are strongly typed, strict data structures that are impossible to associate behavior with. There's nothing OO about them -- Period.
To be frank, I'd prefer if you stop spamming Maps as the solution to every problem.
Cheers,
Clinton

So my 2c is that Maps/Lists is a good resumable VO (because it's dynamic
and nothing to code, so I can write 0 code quickly)
