[Python-ideas] Accepting multiple mappings as positional arguments to create dicts

[Mike Miller]

Ok, we can haggle the finer details and I admit once you learn the syntax it 
isn't substantially harder.  Simply, I've found the dict() a bit easier to 
mentally parse at a glance.  Also, to add I've always expected multiple args to 
work with it, and am always surprised when it doesn't.

Would never have thought of this unpacking syntax if I didn't know that's the 
way its done now, but often have to think about it for a second or two.
