hehe - there are some wicked tricks you could start pulling there :-)

Ive got a feeling that if we re-propose this on python-dev after 1.6 has
been released, we will get a more sympathetic ear.  Im sure I will forget,
so feel free to remind me in a couple of months, and we can work out how
best to propose this then - more along the lines of "extending the
abstract dictionary interface" than a case-sensitivty related proposal ;-)

Mark.
