I'm sorry, to get this running correctly, you will need to understand
a lot of tkined internals and it can't be done in a few days. I would
suggest to split your map in many smaller maps that are linked using
reference objects. This is easy to do and should work out of the box.

These are usually `methods' for an object give by $id. These methods
are implemented in C (methods.c). The file objects.c contains a
dispatch table which defines which methods are supported by which
object type. However, I would suggest to start with the references as
these internals might change a lot in the future.
