They're only not-so-obvious to those who learn one version of Python
and then ignore release notes on future versions. The "k in some_dict"
was a wonderful thing to read in the release notes, and I was glad
enough that I never forgot it :-)

Hmm, that sounds rather snarky. I guess I'm only saying that one's
duty to oneself as a programmer is to keep up with the improved idioms
as they appear in new releases of one's language of choice.
