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.
