The above is a feature of the Python language itself -- you can use that syntax to pass arguments to any function or method in Python, including .update_or_insert(). The book provides examples for .insert() and .update() just as a hint for those that might not be aware of this possibility, but a lack of such examples for other methods and functions should not be taken to imply that it is not possible.
