Renaming map->dict, class->type?

Hi,

Just wondering, should we rename `map' into `dict'?  The problem is that
we also have the `map' concept as in maplist/N, map_assoc/2,3, etc.
This will change the documentation as well as rename the map_* predicates.

The second issue with maps that currently, in x{a:1}, 'x' is called
the `class'.  That might be a too much object oriented term.  Would
`type' be better?  This term only appears in the documentation.

Opinions?
