[Python-Dev] Re: dict.setdefault() (Patch#101102)

[Guido van Rossum]

Enough said.  I've checked it in and closed Barry's patch.  Since
'default' is a Java reserved word, I decided that that would not be a
good name for it after all, so I stuck with setdefault().

Hm.  Predictably, I'm worried about adding 'as' as a reserved word.
