Presumably it's supposed to be populating the combo boxes for
"database column" options and the option menus for "layer" options
with the set of choices which is valid for the "current" map (what
that means exactly, I have no idea; AFAICT, the parser interface
doesn't provide enough information to identify *which* map (if any) a
layer or database column refers to).
