`make` allocates and initializes `a`, setting it to nil effectively uninitializes the variable. See below, where I declare `c`, but don't initialize it. From the Golang spec, http://golang.org/ref/spec#Map_types, the value of an uninitialized map is nil.

Don't tell me, I merely added one line of code to show that more information than the interface{} being nil is kept.
