I don’t see how this can work. Dictionary.map returns an Array, not a Dictionary.
Also, in the callback function $0 is the key, so your Dictionary.withUpdate method only makes sense if the key type of the Dictionary is another Dictionary, which seems … very unusual.

(To clarify, I wasn’t asking how to accomplish this; it’s pretty simple to write it either as an extension method or as a simple one-off ‘for’ loop. I was just making sure it wasn’t already in the standard library, since it seems an obvious thing to have.)
