     agMAPCOUNTS provides the "map count" (i.e. the count of mapped
     keys) for each map in package ag.db.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This "map count" information is precalculated and stored in the
     package annotation DB. This allows some quality control and is
     used by the 'checkMAPCOUNTS' function defined in AnnotationDbi to
     compare and validate different methods (like 'count.mappedkeys(x)'
     or 'sum(!is.na(as.list(x)))') for getting the "map count" of a
     given map.

       mapnames <- names(agMAPCOUNTS)
       agMAPCOUNTS[mapnames[1]]
       x <- get(mapnames[1])
       sum(!is.na(as.list(x)))
       count.mappedkeys(x)   # much faster!
