#307 Assign type of any to asMap and asMappedResults

[bbahrman]

Assigning type of any to asMap and asMappedResults allows for them to be assigned to meaningful interfaces/types

See: #307

I would suggest we make this a generic so the caller can directly provide a return type instead of introducing 'any'. Thoughts?

I agree @ShawnTalbert , I've been meaning to do this. @bbahrman , let me know if you need a hand converting this to use Generics.

@ShawnTalbert @darrenhillconsulting - Thanks for the suggestion to use a generic, new to me, sorry it took a bit for me to get myself understanding what you were trying to do with it. Thanks Darren for the example. I think I just copied and pasted your example in, but wanted to test it out to be sure I understood the why (I trust you, but like to learn).

Do either of you feel the need to have the generic type be a named type in some way? I don't think it does, but let me know if you want any further changes.

Maybe remove unrelated changes? Like the JSDoc changes?

@darrenhillconsulting fair point, sorry those were some errant whitespace changes. I've cleaned them up.

I like this change. @ShawnTalbert ?
