Maybe I wasn't clear enough what I meant here.
I only implied that we would add ModelType.MAP to jboss-dmr.

All other changes would be part of WildFly management,
with introducing new model key "key-type" and alike.

But I can see what you meant and I am leaning more and more on
*not* adding ModelType.MAP.

All we need can be handled as part of wildfly mgmt apis to hide as much
of "map internal impl" and as long people would use that api it wouldn't
matter what impl is.
Once we move to annotation driven model most of this will be hidden anyway.
