> In the context of ListArrays, "values" indicates the elements in a slot of the ListArray. Since MapArray isa ListArray, "values" indicates the same thing and the elements are key-item pairs. This naming scheme is not idiomatic; these *should* be called key-value pairs but that would require propagating the renaming down to ListArray.
