Yes, that should work nicely. Then maplist() or maparg() can be used to
get an existing mapping, and restore it later. And it would also work
for an abbreviation, without having to specify that separately.

There is a lot of history. Starting with the original Vi only having
"map" and "map!". Visual and Select modes were added later, so mappings
for different modes were made possible.
