One good thing about maps are that when you do
#mymap -> find('key')
it will always work. Not always return a value, but it won't trow a hissyfit regardless if the key is found.
If you want to do the same with a staticarray or array the code gets much more complicated
#myarray -> find('key') -> first -> value
will only work if the key is found. If not it will cause an error:
Definition Not Found: null->value()

Thus it would be great with a way to convert say a tie or a staticarray to a map with one swift stroke.
Or to allow null->value() to work, and return a void.

Wonder if that could have drawbacks?
