Yes, it is quite long and not so very easy to digest.
At first glance, most of the changes are replacements of
dict access with mapping access where we pay for the extra
indirection.
It depends on how often this feature will really replace
dicts. If dicts are more common, I'd like to figure out
how much code bloat extra special casing for dicts would give.
