dict view to list

[Luis Gonzalez]

Yes, I know the python approach is to use built-ins.
But wouldn't it be cool if we could do mydict.values().tolist()
instead?
It would be more regular and intuitive and readable from an OO point
of view.
In my oppinion, this would be cleaner.
Built-ins used like this look like an early decission made when
designing an imperative language.
