Why get_in and put_in functions are not inside the Map module?

Hi guys, I was trying to find a function which allow me check values inside nested maps, my first idea was check the documentation about the Map modle…but I get nothing…

after googling a while I get this article

which explains how to use both get_in and put_in…now my question is…why don’t include these functions inside the Map module???..this looks to me a bit phpish where you don’t know where find what you need…of course in php is worse because you don’t know if what you need is a method or a function…

are there some reason about this?

thank you…

get_in and put_in use the Access protocol. They work on lists and tuples too and anything you make that implements the Access protocol. They are not map specific, so they’re not in Map.
