#
# \details{
#   An map is defined to be a @vector of \emph{n} with unique finite
#   values in \eqn{[1,n]}.  Finding the inverse of a map is the same as 
#   finding the rank of each element, cf. @see "base::order".  However,
#   this method is much faster, because it utilizes the fact that all 
#   values are unique and in \eqn{[1,n]}.  Moreover, for any map it holds
#   that taking the inverse twice will result in the same map.
