Re: The new map syntax

I would be a nice enhancement to allow one to configure the map 
implementation, but I think it would be a mistake to rely on 
non-standard map behavior from the generic map syntax.

However you can use the new #setprops directive to get what you want.

see: http://www.webmacro.org/SetpropsDirective

You could do something like:

#setprops $map class="java.util.LinkedHashmap" {
  k1: v1
  k2: v2
}

Hope this helps.
