The examples would make more sense if the "before" picture was using modern
syntax fully. The alternative to
c = a + b
isn't the old
c = {}
c.update(a)
c.update(b)
but in fact:
c = {**a, **b}
I agree that the proposed + overload is nicer to read but the PEP isn't being
fair to the current syntax imo.
