:mrdocs:

Return, by value, a datum that refers to the specified `map`. The behavior is undefined unless `map` was created using `createUninitializedMap` method. The behavior is also undefined unless each element in the held map has been assigned a value and the size of the map has been set accordingly. Note that the adopted map is owned and will be freed if `Datum::destroy` is called on the returned object.
