I don't think there is anything that makes it hard to implement, except the conceptual issues that happen from such feature. If there are duplicate keys, which one wins? The other concern is that the Access API is also mostly specific to one data type, so we would need a new function for maps and I am not sure if it is worth it. It may be best to roll your own. :)
