Given how few properties a "conversion map" is actually guaranteed to have, 
wouldn't it be sufficient to  just have a callable represent the conversion 
and not demand it's a map? I don't think we really need domain and codomain 
anyway. It also means that in a lot of cases, one could simply store to 
codomain rather than a map wrapping a call to the codomain.
