Re: referencing a map produced from a function

It would be a dynamic function invocation which consists on a (primary) expression, followed by an argument list. A dollar sign is only ever used to introduce a variable name.

Or is it

$local:createMap($typeOfMap)($param)

Isn't that simply:

local:createMap($typeOfMap)($param) ?

A variable called a that contains a map can be referenced as $a and you can simulate a map:get with with the function call $a($keyValue).

Suppose the map was instead created by a function that takes a parameter that determines what kind of map to create.

So local:createMap($typeOfMap) returns a map. Do we know have use the explicit map:get form, if not what does the function call form look like.
