BTW2, are we going to rename "dictionary" to "dict" before 2.2b2? Before 2.2, "dict" was universally used on c.l.py to mean dictionary, and I'm at least +0 on adopting that for official 2.2 use.

Sounds good to me. Should we adopt "dict" as an alias and keep "dictionary" as the official name, or vice versa, or simply eradicate dictionary and introduce dict in 2.2b2?
s/dictionary/dict/g is my preference: TOOWTDI.
It's up to you to implement this, I have some other things I need to get done first.
That's fine -- I can't think of anything needed I don't know how to do with ease (heck, I even know where the dictionary() docstring lives <wink>), except for changing the descr tutorial accordingly on python.org.
