Then, I propose `dict.merge` method. It is outer-place version of `dict.update`, but accepts multiple dicts. (dict.update() can be updated to accept multiple dicts, but it's not out of scope).

* d = d1.merge(d2) # d = d1.copy(); d.update(d2) * d = d1.merge(d2, d3) # d = d1.copy(); d.update(d2); d2.update(d3) * d = d1.merge(iter_of_pairs) * d = d1.merge(key=value)

Another similar option would be to extend the dict constructor to allow: d = dict(d1, d2, d3, ...) -n -- Nathaniel J. Smith -- https://vorpus.org
