Why is iterating over items different from iterating over keys?
in other words, why do I have to write:
for k in dict:
v = dict[k]
...do some stuff...
dict[k] = something
rather than
for k, v in dict.items():
...do some stuff...
dict[k] = something
It's not clear why the latter is something you want to prevent.
