[Python-ideas] Empty set {} and empty dict {:} ?

[Mark Summerfield]

I just wondered if changing the empty set & dict syntax might be
possible.

    s = {}  # empty set
    d = {:} # empty dict

I think this would be more understandable to newcomers since to create
single element ones we have:

    s = {1}
    d = {1:1}

?
