PS : according to the freemarker doc reference order may be maintained in the map. So I'am quite suspicious that behind this is a real java map…So it means that Map and Sequence in Freemarker looks to be the same java underlying data structure : a List, because they maintained the order both.

Thanks for the cool tip on how to form a map from a string!

I just wanted to point out that in Java, a LinkedHashMap maintains insertion order of the keys so the underlying structures may be different.

Yes, all community members can update the wiki and I'd encourage everyone to do so as and when they see something missing or not quite right.
