Are you sure about that? I distinctly remember having to code a copying 
function to get around the problem of keys being left in a mapping after 
they'd been set to nil, the mapping in question was a set of arrays. As I 
remember checking map indices still returns the key.
Then again I could be remembering it wrong, or have done it wrong in the 
first place. Guess if folks need a pointer (Like me now), looking at 
accessd in the kernel lib should provide the answers you need as it 
manipulates a mapping for access checking.

Cheers,
