Hm... I haven't used cl-generic.el, but having map-delete be something
like this work?
(defmacro map-delete (map elem)
(if (symbolp map)
`(setq ,map (map-delete-1 ,map ,elem))
`(map-delete-1 ,map ,elem)))
And then having map-delete-1 be the thing to support user-defined types?
It'd be kinda an even more unusual Lisp construct, but, on the other
hand, I don't think Lisp has ever come up with an elegant way to express
these mutating functions before, so we're free to innovate. :-)
