	map in specifies the map in which you want to insert a key-value entry. This input accepts a map of any data type. The default data type is a map of 32-bit signed integers.
	key specifies the key of the entry to insert into the map. The key must be of the same data type as the existing keys in the map.
	value specifies the value of the entry. This input must be of the same data type as the existing values in the map.
	map out returns the map with the inserted entry.
	key already included? returns whether map in already includes key. If key already included? is TRUE, this function replaces the associated value of key in map in with value and returns the resulting map in map out.
	value unchanged? returns whether any values in the input map are updated after the insertion.
