Idiom #298 Copy a map

Create the map y by cloning the map x.

y is a shallow copy, not a deep copy.

my %y = %x;

As requested in the Idiom description - this only works on simple maps; it is a shallow copy.
var y = Map.of(x);
New implementation...

my %y = %x;
var y = Map.of(x);
y := make(map[K]V, len(x))
for k, v := range x {
	y[k] = v
}
y := maps.Clone(x)
Map<K, V> y = x;
y = x.copy()
y = x.dup
