Nice!

Any chance that this may be included some time in the future?

And as regards "... in dict"; It would perhaps be more natural
to see a dict as a set of pairs, so that the dictionary would
act similarly to dict.items()?

I.e. "(key, val) in dict" would be the same as
"(key, val) in dict.items()" except that it would take O(1)
time...?

Oh, well... If we get a set type I guess that isn't necessary.

(And I would *love* to have a set type. :-)))
