Oops, yeah. That’s what I get for whipping out a message before catching a bus.
(And on a phone now)
But maybe you could wrap the defaultdict constructor around a
generator expression that transforms the list first.
That would get the keys right. Though still not call append for you.
So maybe a solution is an accumulator special case of defaultdict — it
uses a list be default and appends by default.
Almost like counter...
