Fair enough! I'm curious what you mean by duplicate keys, that wouldn't 
happen for a map, would it?

To give more context, I use my version the same as `Access.all/0`:

update_in(
data,
["hosts", &all_map/3, "events", &all_map/3],
updater
)

and the code is pretty much the same, just turn the map into a list before 
using the same code as `Access.all/0` and then back to map.
