Actually, they are not. They appear to be global mappings from nodes
to values. If they were global mappings from values to nodes then we
would have exactly what I want. The problem is that the names in these
mappings have what appears to me to be both a counter intuitive and an
unnecessary context sensitivity (since a key reference returns a value
that does not rely upon the matching criteria but upon an implied
context.
With respect,

Neither of those features though have any bearing on the way keys
are defined, which are global mappings from values to nodes.
