+Map returns a map[string][]<match bytes> for regexes with named capture groups matched in bytes b.
+Note that this supports non-unique group names; [regexp.Regexp] allows for patterns with multiple groups
+using the same group name (though your IDE might complain; I know GoLand does).
+
+Each match for each group is in a slice keyed under that group name, with that slice
+ordered by the indexing done by the regex match itself.
+
+In summary, the parameters are as follows:
+
+# inclNoMatch
+
+If true, then attempt to return a non-nil matches (as long as b isn't nil).
+Group keys will be populated and explicitly defined as nil.
+
+For example, if a pattern
+
+	^(?P<g1>foo)(?P<g1>bar)(?P<g2>baz)$
+
+is provided but b does not match then matches will be:
+
+	map[string][][]byte{
+		"g1": nil,
+		"g2": nil,
+	}
+
+# inclNoMatchStrict
+
+If true (and inclNoMatch is true), instead of a single nil the group's values will be
+a slice of nil values explicitly matching the number of times the group name is specified
+in the pattern.
+
+For example, if a pattern:
+
+	^(?P<g1>foo)(?P<g1>bar)(?P<g2>baz)$
+
+is provided but b does not match then matches will be:
+
+	map[string][][]byte{

+			nil,
+			nil,
+		},
+		"g2": [][]byte{
+			nil,
+		},
+	}
+
+# mustMatch
+
+If true, matches will be nil if the entirety of b does not match the pattern (and thus
+no capture groups matched) (overrides inclNoMatch) -- explicitly:
+
+	matches == nil
+
+Otherwise if false (and assuming inclNoMatch is false), matches will be:
+
+	map[string][][]byte{}{}
+
+# Condition Tree
+
+In detail, matches and/or its values may be nil or empty under the following condition tree:
+
+	IF b is nil:
+		THEN matches will always be nil
+	ELSE:
+		IF all of b does not match pattern
+			IF mustMuch is true
+				THEN matches == nil
+			ELSE
+				THEN matches == map[string][][]byte{} (non-nil but empty)

+MapString is exactly like ReMap.Map(), but operates on (and returns) strings instead.
+(matches will always be nil if s == “.)
+
+A small deviation, though; empty strings instead of nils (because duh) will occupy slice placeholders (if `inclNoMatchStrict` is specified).
+This unfortunately *does not provide any indication* if an empty string positively matched the pattern (a "hit") or if it was simply
+not matched at all (a "miss"). If you need definitive determination between the two conditions, it is instead recommended to either
+*not* use inclNoMatchStrict or to use ReMap.Map() instead and convert any non-nil values to strings after.
+
+Particularly:
+
+# inclNoMatch
+
+If true, then attempt to return a non-nil matches (as long as s isn't empty).
+Group keys will be populated and explicitly defined as nil.
+
+For example, if a pattern
+
+	^(?P<g1>foo)(?P<g1>bar)(?P<g2>baz)$
+
+is provided but s does not match then matches will be:
+
+	map[string][]string{
+		"g1": nil,
+		"g2": nil,
+	}
+
+# inclNoMatchStrict
+
+If true (and inclNoMatch is true), instead of a single nil the group's values will be
+a slice of eempty string values explicitly matching the number of times the group name is specified
+in the pattern.
+
+For example, if a pattern:
+
+	^(?P<g1>foo)(?P<g1>bar)(?P<g2>baz)$
+
+is provided but s does not match then matches will be:
+
+	map[string][]string{
+		"g1": []string{
+			"",
+			"",
+		},
+		"g2": []string{
+			"",
+		},
+	}
+
+# mustMatch
+
+If true, matches will be nil if the entirety of s does not match the pattern (and thus
+no capture groups matched) (overrides inclNoMatch) -- explicitly:
+
+	matches == nil
+
+Otherwise if false (and assuming inclNoMatch is false), matches will be:
+
+	map[string][]string{}{}
+
+# Condition Tree
+
+In detail, matches and/or its values may be nil or empty under the following condition tree:
+
+	IF s is empty:
+		THEN matches will always be nil
+	ELSE:
+		IF all of s does not match pattern
+			IF mustMuch is true
+				THEN matches == nil
+			ELSE
