Erlang's New Map datatype coming in R17

The Relevant EEP can be found here: https://github.com/psyeugenic/eep/blob/egil/maps/eeps/eep-00...

The discussion related to the "Maps vs Frames" proposal is fascinating and enlightening, for those with the time to read the (currently 70 posts-long) discussion.

Maps are being presented as a generalized datatype that can serve as a replacement for many of Erlang's container types (Records, Dicts, Prop lists).

Personally, I'm very excited to play around with them with the R17 release.
