DESCRIPTION

keys() returns an array of keys (indices) corresponding to the keys  in
the (key, value) pairs stored in the mapping m.

For example, if:

    mapping m;
    m = (["hp" : 35, "sp" : 42, "mass" : 100]);

then

    keys(m) == ({"hp", "sp", "mass"})

Note:  the  keys  will not be returned in any apparent order.  However,
they will be returned in the same order  as  the  corresponding  values
(returned by the values() efun).
