After posting this last week I decided to go down the explicit map route, and I'm already really glad I did. Amongst other things, it has allowed me to have two similar calls easily share their common options and merge in the differences. I'm generally a fan of maintaining fairly minimal APIs, I don't think I'll be duplicating functions, I don't really see a need - two extra braces are just not that much noise for me. I'd rather use Alex's last example with the optional map arg than have my-function and my-function-from-map everywhere.
