 ## Name Maps
 Name maps are a way to map global descriptive parameter names (indexing the toml_dict) 
-to local user-defined names. One can define a name with a Dict object as follows...
+to local user-defined names. One can define a name with a NamedTuple as follows...
 It will return a NamedTuple of the parameters with your given variable names.
 ```julia
-name_map = Dict(
-    "gravitational_acceleration" => "g",
-    "angular_velocity_planet_rotation" => "omega"
+name_map = (;
+    :gravitational_acceleration => :g,
+    :angular_velocity_planet_rotation => :omega
 )
 params = CP.get_parameter_values(toml_dict, name_map)
 params.g  # gives value field of gravitational_acceleration
 params.omega
 ```
-A name map does not strictly need to be a Dict. It can be a Vector, Tuple, or Varargs of Pairs.
-The entries in the name map can also be Symbols instead of Strings.
