Understood the issues, but I would like to hear from Ingo, Jiri,
Namhyung, Brian and others here, since we're setting up syntax, and yes,
using:
  
  maps.my_map.value[0,3...6]=1234;

or even:

  maps->my_map->value[0,3...6]=1234;

Looks more natural than:

  maps:my_map:value[0,3...6]=1234;

I'll think harder about this, maybe we can find a way to use the more
familiar dot notation somehow.

And I have to anyway test this more extensively, so I'll push the
patches I have and try this as soon as I can.
