Well, back in the autofs4 days, when way too much logic was put into the init script, we basically had to do this. ;-) See the --dumpmap switch in v4. I can see that it could be a useful aid for administrators to ensure that their maps look like they think they do, especially with nsswitch and included maps, and those pesky null maps.
