Oh, and another thing: the items views can contain unhashable values, so
d.items() & d.items()
will fail for such dictionaries since the operands are converted to sets
before doing the intersection.
I suspect there's nothing that can easily be done about that though...

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
