Details
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saxon:index() has become redundant, and will be withdrawn at some point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(.).
