This seems interesting to me, but I don't see that they are important 
enough to be built-in to dicts.

At most, this could be a module in the standard library, but before that 
happens, you would have to prove the usefulness of the module. I suggest 
polishing it to a fit state to use in production, including tests, and 
putting it on PyPI. Once you can demonstrate some interest for it, then 
you can propose it gets added to the std lib.

Otherwise, this looks rather like a library of functions looking for a 
use. It might help if you demonstrate what concrete problems this helps 
you solve.
