Ah, good catch. I hadn't considered that it would make a substantial
difference, but that makes sense. Here's an additional comparison between
"{}" and "dict()" to confirm it:
>>> timeit.timeit("{}", number=100_000_000)
2.1038335599987477
>>> timeit.timeit("dict()", number=100_000_000)
10.225583500003268
Some more in-depth comparisons might be required for addition of single
items to the containers. I might experiment further with this at some point
in the next week or so, likely with implementing proper tests that omit the
time to initialize the container.
