Review comment:
       it isn't.  To my knowledge the keySorted doesn't have strong semantics 
other than to indicate the keys follow some logical ordering.

Review comment:
       nit: this is probably consistent with other code here, but literal 
comments like
   
   `/*elementByteWidth=*/4` could make this more readable.

Review comment:
       nit: might be worth commenting on the somewhat lack of semantics of 
keySored and linking to the spec.

Review comment:
       since Maps are relatively complex to work with, it might pay to give a 
simple usage example here.

       does "key" and "value" hardcoded here have any implications for reading 
maps that name this differentlcy.
