Review Comment:
   I find it unintuitive to return a list in this context because, in a Map, 
each key is unique by definition. Returning a list implies the possibility of 
multiple values for a single key, which contradicts the core concept of how a 
Map operates. The key uniqueness in a Map should naturally lead to a single 
value or `NULL`, making a list redundant and potentially confusing. I 
refactored the code so it can avoid to make special implementations for each 
type of key now.
