No, I was just misunderstanding the Python term "dictionary".
If they'd said "associative array" or "hash" I'd have known 
what they were talking about.

I know, but Inform's notion of objects is in some ways
superior to any other I've seen.  The way properties are
handled is very nice, especially in terms of embedded
routines.  By comparison the OO features of C++ or Perl
are evil and stupid (respectively).  At this time Inform 
is still my thinking model for an object-oriented language.
