// Known options:
//
// missingkey: Control the behavior during execution if a map is
// indexed with a key that is not present in the map.
//	"missingkey=default" or "missingkey=invalid"
//		The default behavior: Do nothing and continue execution.
//		If printed, the result of the index operation is the string
//		"<no value>".
//	"missingkey=zero"
//		The operation returns the zero value for the map type's element.
//	"missingkey=error"
//		Execution stops immediately with an error.
