* `map` (or `object`): a group of values identified by named labels, like
`{name = "Mabel", age = 52}`.
Strings, numbers, and bools are sometimes called _primitive types._ Lists and sets are forms
of tuples. Maps are a form of objects. Tuples and objects are sometimes called _complex types,_
_structural types,_ or _collection types._ See
