What is the "them" to be omitted if there is only one type parameter? It
wouldn't make sense to omit the brackets (because there needs to be some
delimiter between the name of the generic function/type and the type
argument). But if there is only one type-parameter anyway, I don't know
what else you would omit.

Either way - you are using `sync.Map` to motivate this, with a clear
analogue to `map`. But what about types that *don't* represent a map (like
the Graph-example, where both type-parameters are on mostly equal footing)?
And what about generic functions? I think
Foo[int]string(bar, baz)
isn't super readable, TBH.

In short, I think that introducing this sort of asymmetry into the syntax
hurts more than it helps.
