This would only make sense if we add corresponding args to several
other functions of `map.el`, and it would bring us back to the problem
that this arg would be ignored for most map types and couldn't be obeyed
without paying a high cost.

If you know it's a list and you want to use a specific test, then don't
use `map-elt`.
