At one point this map checked for infinite loops during package iteration. The last write to the map was mistakenly removed in CL 251445. However, looking at the code before that change, the map-based termination strategy was never quite right to begin with: it checked whether we had ever added any module for the given package, not whether we had already added the module being proposed right now. (For packages within nested modules, we could try adding multiple different modules for a given package without looping.) Moreover, the "looping trying to add package" failure message was only marginally helpful. Users are capable of noticing that an invocation of the 'go' command is taking too long, and will report a bug for an infinite loop just as readily as a "looping trying to add package" error. We could try to add this tracking back in, but it's no substitute for a proper proof of convergence, and the code is simpler without it. Instead I'm going to add a proper proof of convergence — or, barring that, a more accurate and useful check for failure to converge. In the meantime, this invariantly-empty map isn't doing anybody any good.
