How use the verse maps with container types

I read in verse language reference that maps can use as key some different types like:

  • A class, if it’s comparable
  • An option, if the element type is comparable
  • An array, if the element type is comparable
  • A map if both the key and the value types are comparable
  • A tuple if all elements in the tuple are comparable

But I’m not achieving success with my attempts. If someone could provide me with an example of each type, I would appreciate it!

Did you add the comparable type to the values you want to use in your map?
Can you add your code example?

My results:

maps := class():

    ClassMap : [unique_class]string = map{}

    OptionMap : [?int]string = map{}

    ArrayMap : [[]unique_class]string = map{} # SAYS IT IS NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

    MapMap : [[unique_class]unique_class]string = map{} # SAYS IT IS NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

    TupleMap : [tuple(unique_class, unique_class)]string = map{} # SAYS IT IS NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

unique_class := class<unique>():

Just wanted to confirm that this is correct. Arrays, maps, and tuples are comparable, but we do not yet implement using them as map keys.
