New issue 299 by b.k.ox...@gmail.com: Native map encoding missing or needs howto eample
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=299

In arguing for Protobuf over Thrift at work one point that sticks is that Thrift has native support for encoding maps directly as a type.

Protobuf would benefit from either:

A) A native map encoding with an appropriate .proto syntax
-or-
B) Some library help to add API sugar for maps with a stock encoding for them
-or-
C) A good howto page showing best practice for encoding map manually

Cheers,
