  # NAME
  
  Array::Sorted::Map - Provide a Map interface for 2 sorted lists
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use Array::Sorted::Util;
  use Array::Sorted::Map;
  
  my @keys;
  my @values;
  
  inserts(@keys, "a", @values, 42);  # "inserts" from Array::Sorted::Util
  inserts(@keys, "b", @values, 666);
  
  my %map := Array::Sorted::Map.new(:$keys, :$values);
  
  say %map<a>;  # 42;
  say %map<b>;  # 666;
  say %map<c>;  # Nil
  
  say %map.keys;    # (a b)
  say %map.values;  # (42 666)
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  Array::Sorted::Map provides a class that can be used to provide a `Map` interface to two sorted lists: one for keys, and one for values, such as typically created / maintained by the subroutines offered by the `Array::Sorted::Util` distribution.
  
  Optionally, a `:cmp` argument can be specified, indicating the logic that should be used for comparing elements from the keys. By default, the `infix:<cmp>` will be assumed.
