What is the current attitude to dictionaries in RPython? At one point I thought the attitude was "constant dictionaries, constantly known string-only keys" but in particular pypy.interpreter.argument isn't even vaguely close to this measure. This is what crashed translate_pypy after about 110 minutes of CPU time :) -- there's an assert that the item in aDict[some_item] is constant. I think to cope effectively with argument.py the SomeDict annotation needs quite a lot of work.
