I used `map-keys' to return the list of keys indeed.  I don't really
like `map-kv', seems cryptic to me.  `map-apply' could work, but it's
still not as good as `seq-map' for example.

Maybe naming the library map.el isn't a good fit afterall, as map also
refers to mapping.  Would anyone have another idea?
