The C interface to slang associative arrays is not there yet, making
it difficult to do so.  Also, standard arrays are much more memory
efficient and the code that I wrote also executes faster since there
is not loop.  If you do not like array_map, you can also use a loop,
e.g.,

    define copy_keymap_overwrite (new_map, old_map)
    {
       variable keys, bindings;
       (keys, bindings) = get_keymap_bindings (old_map);

       _for (0, length(keys)-1, 1)
       {
          variable i = ();
          undefinekey(keys[i]);
          definekey(bindings[i], keys[i], new_map);
       }
    }
