Maybe, "inner_map_id" is a better choice. For array of maps, some array
element value could be 0, implying "inner_map_id 0", but I think it is
okay, people should know a real inner_map_id (or any map_id) should
never be 0.

Function "print_uint" is not needed any more. Please remove it.

Please add the command line to dump map values triggering the above
change, also the actual dumps with and without this patch.
