How to add a key:datum pair to the dictionary

[MK]

Hello everyone,

I have stumbled across a stupid problem: how to add a pair to
dictionary like 

{'mk': {'repetitions': 20, 'no match': 10}}

I have not found the method for this anywhere in documentation.
Dictionary is mutable, but neither Library Reference nor Language
Reference give information on how to _add_ something to dictionary.
It seems strange -- I mean, is creating dictionary and then changing
items in it the only possible method of changing dictionary? Can it be
enlarged?
