This is the neatest solution, no doubt. However, how about when you
exchange maps with this AI? You will get the whole world. As you mention,
/take is a problem, too.

Better perhaps to have a single check somewhere in the map code so that we
always _seem_ to see everything by map_get_known(), but this reverts to
normal once we are no longer AI or share maps. Or something.
