Hi Paul,

Two guesses/comments:

Are you sure `name.map` is what you think it is in your method? Maybe
you can drop a call to `browser()` in your code to make sure name.map
is a bimap thing?

If `name.map` is what you expect it to be, maybe doing something like
`AnnotationDbi::mget(toupper(..), name.map, ...)` would work?
