Ha-ha-ha!  I see my mistake...

If you had said "ordered map", I would think "a set of key/value pairs
in a particular order".

But if you say "order-preserving map", my mathematical training kicks in
and I think "a map F where for every a less than b, F(a) is less than
F(b)".  So for an *order-preserving map*, there must be a defined sense
of comparison between keys, and also a defined sense of comparison
between values!
