Here, "fmap" is a poor choice of name, if it's meant to be a reference
to Haskell's function of the same name. It's not obvious to me that
mapping a function over a map should just apply the function to the
values. Yes, applying the function to the keys instead could yield
duplicates, but just because one choice of behavior isn't promising
doesn't make the other choice obviously valid.
If you called your function, say, "fmap-values" I would not have
complained.
