> {{ValueMapper}} should have read-only access to the key for the value it is
> mapping. Sometimes the value transformation will depend on the key.
> It is possible to do this with a full blown {{KeyValueMapper}} but that loses
> the promise that you won't change the key -- so you might introduce a
> re-keying phase that is totally unnecessary. It also requires you to return
> an identity KeyValue object which costs something to construct (unless we are
> lucky and the optimizer elides it).
> [ If mapValues() is guaranteed to be no less efficient than map() the issue
> may be moot, but I presume there are some optimizations that are valid with
> the former but not latter. ]
