Distinguish empty map types

[yxu1111]

Describe the bug A nil map is always converted to an empty map ({}) which sometimes could cause issues if the caller treats them differently

To Reproduce pass in a member variable that is a map of value nil will return a map of value '{}'

Expected behavior Ideally it should keep the original behavior - nil to nil and {} to {}

Thanks!

Thanks for the report, could you try out the map-nil branch and verify the problem is fixed for you?
