[issue11455] issue a warning when populating a CPython type dict with non-string keys

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I fail to see the need to warn about this, though. Users using the feature are likely aware that this violates the language specification, and will find out quickly when they do port it to another Python implementation.

There are many many other aspects of CPython that don't, and often even can't, work on other Python implementations that are not warned about (such as usage of extensions modules, or development of extension modules).
