It doesn't hold. It needs the side condition that the map is initially
empty. I wonder if there's any function in the API that'd let me
express this property (of HOFs) that doesn't require a side condition.
I don't think so e.g.

    insertWith (\old new -> undefined) k v m

has a side condition that k is in the map.
