Although this:
    dictionary ([(k,v) for k,v in dict.items() if type(v) == str])
is not as concise, it doesn't require new syntax, just standard
library support.

In Python-2.2a1 there is already a buildin variable 'dictionary'
bound to the dictionary type which also acts as a function. But
it currently just ignores its parameters. I don't know the status
of the discussion about how its parameters should look like.
