[Bug 19158] Getting all vales from a map

How about using higher-order functions to solve this. 

Let's say there is map:process HOF and it uses an accumulator to store
intermediate results, the accumulator is initialized using the last parameter
and the value of the accumulator is returned after the last entry was
processed. 

For returning all values as one (flattened) sequence:

map:process($mymap, function($key,$value,$acc,()) { $acc, $value })

When someone wants to handle values, which can be sequences or maps, (s)he can
use more sophisticated function and accumulator structure. 

My only concern is whether calling $acc, $value would be effective (linear)?
