Streamability of map constructors has been a topic in the WG mailing list [1],
[2], however, it never made it to the streamability analysis.

As a refresher, Michael Kay suggested in the aforementioned mail to allow
multiple downward expressions in map constructors, by considering them in an
implicit fork. Essentially, if we are to follow that line of thought, we get
something like this:

----
MapExpr [112]

Determine the sweep for each key/value pair, any of the following:
- Key is consuming, value is motionless, then consuming
- Key is motionless, value is consuming, then consuming
- Otherwise, free ranging

The sweep of a map expression is the maximum sweep of each item's key/value
pair.

Note: this rule assumes an implicit fork for each map-item in the expression,
which allows expressions like { "price" : price, "quantity" : quantity }.

----

We might attempt something similar for map:new, but not sure we should.
