This example that loads an Autocomplete Widget tries to load the Map class from the "places" library.
The example still works as intended because the Map class isn't required anywhere, so the"places" library is loaded anyway and then the PlaceAutocompleteElement class is referenced using the full namespace.
The guide is made to be easy enough for non-js gurus. Probably js-gurus don't even bother with the guides and read just the reference, but it took me a full day to understand what #L11 actually does, because I started with the assumption that the official documentation is always correct. Now I know better. :smi

Steps to reproduce
Just run the JSFiddle example, to which I added a console.log('Map: ',Map) after the attempt to load the Map class from the "places" library is made.
