[issue11297] Make ChainMap() public in the collections module.

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Antoine.  Thanks.  I put in a paragraph re-emphasizing that ChainMap is a view and that changes in the underlying mappings get reflected in the ChainMap.  Also, the first sentence says that ChainMap groups multiple dicts or other mappings.  So, any mapping-like object will work.

Éric, I changed built-in to builtin.  It is used as an adjetive, not as a module reference (that's the usual practice when referring the builtin functions).

See r88628.
