I don't know if it's more common or not, but I tend to use (:key map) most
of the time, because it's a visual cue that I'm getting some key from a
map.  Whenever you see (:key something), you know that you're getting the
:key field from something.  When you see (something :key), you have to be
more aware of the context to know whether something is a map or some other
function.
