[Python-Dev] PEP 455: TransformDict

[Nigel Small]

True, but I could similarly argue that the nice thing about
CaseInsensitiveString is it is usable for much more than dictionary keys -
it just depends on your point of view.

There would be nothing stopping other types of dictionary key
transformation being covered by other key data types in a similar way, I'm
simply trying to raise the question of where the genericity could sit: in
the dictionary or in the key.
