Type/class unification and new-style classes
--------------------------------------------
! - dict() now accepts keyword arguments so that dict(one=1,two=2)
! is the equivalent of dict([('one',1),('two',2)]). Accordingly,
the existing (but undocumented) 'items' keyword argument has
! been eliminated. This means that dict(items=someMapping) now has
a different meaning than before.
