They tell the compiler to treat the bracketed string as an identifier. This
is documented here[0]. Since there apparently is a class named "Map" already,
it might cause trouble for the parser if you call a totally unrelated symbol
also "Map". The brackets clarify the situation, although I think they're not
needed in property declarations.
As [0] indicates, using reserved keywords of the language as identifiers
(as opposed to using already declared identifiers for different symbols) is
another place where brackets must be used.
