The map can have integers as key values. However, like other swarm
collection types, the items in the map must be objects. You can't just
throw floats in a map.  You should create an object type, and in that
object you can store the float, with a set method, and get the value
back with a get method.

I learned how to do maps from the grid turtle test program 3 that is
distributed with the swarmdocs.  Check it out!
