1.  because i didn't know. 

2. I remembered from PEP253 that objects and types 
   are/should be 'unified'. So using type({}) somehow 
   made sense to me because it expresses
   'this object inherits behaviour from the {}-type'

3. And 'dict' is something i often use in local definitions
   when working with dictionaries.
