It not me, but Chris and Steve who want to bind dict.update to an operator, namely '+'. I'm suggested that if you do that, why not call the operator 'update'.
One reason would be that '+' is short, whereas 'update' is long. A large part of the reason that common operations are written using infix operators is that the operator symbols used are very compact. That benefit disappears if your operator is an entire word. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
