Finds an entry in a map.
Notes on the Saxon implementation
From Saxon 9.5, saxon:find() is a synonym of map:get(). The function
was originally introduced to allow searching of the "indexed sequence" produced by the saxon:index()
function, but since saxon:index() now produces a standard map, saxon:index() has
become redundant, and will be withdrawn at some point in the future.
Earlier versions of saxon:find() allowed more than one entry to be found in a single call;
to reproduce this functionality it is necessary to make multiple calls: in place of saxon:find($map, $keys),
use $keys!$map(.).
