Should we then add dict.push(), which would add a key/value pair to the dictionary? I realize it's redundant (same effect as 'dict[x] = y'), but I think anyone who's gone through a CS course in data structures and algorithms will expect push() where there's pop(), and it will allow functions to be polymorphic over lists and dicts.
'cept there's no list.push - and I don't think you're proposing spelling "dict.push" "dict.append", are you? Cheers, M.
