A slice is a value but a map is implemented as a pointer. IOW, the
line of code quoted above updates only the locally visible copy of m.
All other copies of m are left at the old, possibly nil, value, but
that's not how maps in Go work. Once the map is initialized, all the
shared copies can access the same values/operations on it.
