Widget to edit arbitrary dictionary...

[pehr anderson]

Dear Simon,

I don't know of a widget for editing an arbitrary dictionary.
When I think of an "arbitrary" dictionary, it has a zillion
possibilities... Strings, tuples, longs, etc. How could it 
comprehensively edit such a thing?

A simple hack might be to use a text-edit widget, 
fill it with:

key1:value
key2:value

and let the user edit it as text. 
When done, just reparse the thing
with some minimal error reporting
if they break the key:value mapping.
