to be honest, I'm not a fan of either.
map -> layer: no need for change; layer is less meaningful in this context
(my POV is not from the GUI layer-list perspective, so the metaphor makes
little sense)
layer -> catset: sorry, yuck.
(if it must be renamed, what's was wrong with going back to "field"?)
[I remember Radim explained on-list why that was changed when it
became "layer", ... need to dig out that thread]
