[issue44190] Dictionary assignment shorthand

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes  added the comment:

Your proposal is not possible in Python. The object does not know under which 
variable names it is accessible. The closest you can get is this:

>>> dict(
... foo="bar"
... )
{'foo': 'bar'}

[issue44190] Dictionary assignment shorthand

[David Hariri]

New submission from David Hariri :

In some languages, one may declare a dictionary's key and its value like so:

```
foo = "bar"

my_dict = { foo }
>> { "foo" : "bar" }
```

In Python, one must instead write:

```
foo = "bar"

my_dict = {
"foo": foo
}
>> { "foo" : "bar" }
```

I humbly suggest this change as a QoL improvement for those who work with 
dictionaries all day.
