Please be aware that the PEP author's motivation in submitting the PEP was
to have a case insensitive, case *preserving* dict.  The generalization
serves to make the new datatype more useful, but if the end result
doesn't satisfy the original use case of the author, I won't be
surprised if he has no motivation to work on it further :).
