I assume you're talking about a recent version of GNU Emacs.  If so, the answer
is then yes, you'd need a bunch of little maps.  But don't worry it, they're
pretty cheap spacewise, a cons for each element plus one.  So there's an O(n)
performance hit - for small n and considering the cost of doing comparisons in
the interpreter, this won't hurt much.
