I think the last post there is the clincher.
What would be the result of {"a": 1, "b": 2} + {"a": 2, "b": 1}?
It could be:
a) {"a": 1, "b": 2}
b) {"a": 2, "b": 1}
c) {"a": [1, 2], "b": [1,2]}
d) {"a":[1,2], "b":[2,1]}
All of the above make sense in some circumstances.
Also, most of the time you don't want a new dictionary - you really do
just want to update an existing one, which is what the update method does.
Cheers,
Rasjid.
