I can't speak for Naveen, he's gone off in his own direction (or rather, I
have, as it was originally his thread).

But for my part, as I [describe here][1], the common case *I* want to
address is that the value *is* the entry. No round-trip through `[key,
value]` pairs is required for the common use case of creating a map/object
to provide lookup by key. I certainly see why Darien may *also* want to
provide somthing for `[key, value]` pairs, but I see it as separate.
