No, but they are comparable to the OP's suggested new built-in method
(without requiring each mapping type - not just dicts - to implement it).
That was what _I_ was responding to.


No worries, I only meant to emphasize that destructuring is much much more
powerful and less verbose/duplicative than anything based on functions. It
could readily apply/fallback against any object's __dict__ because maps
underpin the entire Python object system.
