Comment:
Indeed, it boils down to the fact that the template language uses the same
syntax for dictionary and attribute lookups. The resolution order is
documented here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/templates/#variables. It's
probably a bad idea to change it.
We could add a note there to warn about objects that accept a dictionary
lookup with any name, suggesting to convert them to `dict` before passing
them to the view, in your example:
{{{
context['dictionary'] = dict(dictionary)
}}}
