/*
  SystemJS map support
  
  Provides map configuration through
    System.map['jquery'] = 'some/module/map'

  Note that this applies for subpaths, just like RequireJS:

  jquery      -> 'some/module/map'
  jquery/path -> 'some/module/map/path'
  bootstrap   -> 'bootstrap'

  The most specific map is always taken, as longest path length
