I'm trying to wrap my head around why you need the special handling in the
variable resolver.
If one of the vars points to a map, that is it. You don't need to do any
special dance.
You can have the variable context 'builder' ( config whatever ) allow
naming the message as a var with a certain name and that is it.
I don't understand why all the extra stuff is required. IE. why the
variable resolver needs to know it is a map. It is just a var.
