 //      - map is local for program, not shared at all
 //
 //  NOTE Please do not share MapTypeProgram maps, it brings confusion.
+//
+//  Each map declares the ownership of the map. It can be either:
+//
+//    MapOwnerMe    - Map object owns the pinned map and when loading it sets
+//                    (and potentially overwrite) the map's spec and its max
+//                    entries value
+//    MapOwnerOther - Map object is just the user of the pinned map and follows
+//                    its setup and will fail if the pinned map differs in spec
+//                    or configured max entries value
