That's clever.

OTOH I'm not convinced that `map-into' is a good abstraction.  Every
goal type might have an individual set of useful parameters, especially
when we want to add support for other map types in the future.  Our
choice now to unite those in one conversion interface function might
result in quite a mess later.
