Raymond: Thanks for essentially answering my stackoverflow question (if you are
a member, and add most of your response, I'll accept it).

Kirk Hansen added the comment:
I think it could make sense at the top of the intro. It could also make sense
to have it sit
https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=dict#mapping-types-dict
and have the intro link to it, or vice-versa. Thoughts
New submission from Kirk Hansen:
I tried subclassing dict, and overriding its __setitem__ and __getitem__ and
got some interesting results. See
