Bend has a built-in binary tree Map data structure where the key is a `u24` value, meaning you can use numbers, characters, and symbols as keys.
Maps are delimited by `{` `}` and support any numeric value as key, it can be a number, characters and symbols.
Maps are delimited by `{` `}` and its entries are separated by commas. A key-value entry in a map is denoted using a colon `:`. For example:
