Hi,

I'm reading `Clojure for the Brave and True` book, at chapter 6 
<http://www.braveclojure.com/organization/#To_Catch_a_Burglar>.

I don't completely understand this function:

(defn comparator-over-maps
  [comparison-fn ks]
  (fn [maps]
    (zipmap ks
            (map (fn [k] (apply comparison-fn (map k maps)))
                 ks))))

comparison-fn is min for example.
ks are the keys: [:lat :lng]

As far as I understand, the function returns a function `fn [maps]...` and 
`maps` will be an argument that will be passed later on.  Correct?

(map (fn [k] (apply comparison-fn (map k maps)))
         ks)
should return the values for zipmap, ks being the keys.

What should be the value of `maps`?  for example {:lat 5 :lng 5}? I don't 
understand this inner part.

Thank you.
