I'd like to make a plea to people:
I get it, there is now significant opposition to using the + symbol for this proposed operator. At the time I wrote the first draft of the PEP, there was virtually no opposition to it, and the | operator had very little support. This has clearly changed.
At this point I don't think it is productive to keep making subjective claims that + will be more confusing or surprising. You've made your point that you don't like it, and the next draft^1 of the PEP will make that clear.
But if you have *concrete examples* of code that currently is easy to understand, but will be harder to understand if we add dict.__add__, then please do show me!
For those who oppose the + operator, it will help me if you made it clear whether it is *just* the + symbol you dislike, and would accept the | operator instead, or whether you hate the whole operator concept regardless of how it is spelled.
Thanks for the work you are doing on this PEP and for debunking my misconceptions regarding types, I’m currently learning a lot about them. I don’t know if it matters but I’m in favor of the method
And to those who support this PEP, code examples where a dict merge operator will help are most welcome!
Not matter the notation you end up choosing, I think this code: https://github.com/jpadilla/pyjwt/blob/master/jwt/utils.py#L71-L81 which is part of a widely used library to validate JWTs would greatly benefit from a new merge to merge dicts.
