Sorry this dropped off my radar.

Looking at my example I think that I made an elementary mistake, the line
"pop_rates: converted_pop_map" starts with some whitespace.

The original file is not available any more, so I do not know what white
space it was.

I did think that white space sorts differently from that, whatever, I made
a mistake, and I am sorry for wasting your time.

Thank you for your attention, albeit to me being foolish.
