+======Synopsis:======
+[[load]] map \\
+[[map]] //[<server>]//
+======Description:======
+This script implements the [[map]] command in the client.  The [[map]] command
+shows you a topological map of the irc network from the point of view of your
+server.  Not every server supports it, so you can [[load]] this script and it
+will seamlessly do the job in the client as needed.
+The [[map]] command necessarily uses the [[links]] command, which some,
+hyper-paranoid server admins do not like non-operators using.  If you are
+not an oper, use this command with caution.
+======History:======
+Originally, there was the //imap// script.  It was written by daemon and has
+historically been shipped with the client.  It supported arbitrary pivoting
+(ie, being able to get a topology map centered in any server)
+The undernet was inspired by this script, and implemented a server-side
+version and called it [[map]], but it didn't implement all the features
+of the //imap// script, like pivoting.
+This script is called //map// and tries to re-implement the undernet
+command for those servers that don't have it.  It was written by wd
+and first appeared in epic4-1.1.6.
