Yes, I see that now. When I read "When applied to a transient map, adds mapping of key(s) to val(s)" in the doc string, I understood that to mean that it modified the existing map, and the (insufficient) poking around that I did in the repl supported that. (actually did it past 8 now - saw it fail in same way).
I guess under the hood its a essentially the same sort of persistent data structure but with chunking (buffering) before it grows. If I wanted to submit alternate wording for the doc string, how would I do that? i.e. where is the process for contributing outlined? e.g. "When applied to a transient map, adds mapping of key(s) to val(s) in the resulting map."
