At a previous employer I was warned against using "map" on the grounds
that junior developers couldn't be expected to understand it.

Thankfully I (successfully) argued that we had to expect at least some
minimal level of competence and that since we already had a mentoring
program in place, anyone who didn't understand map and couldn't figure
it out was welcome to ask me.
