Well, more generally, "collection". And I *do* think
of a dict as being a collection -- of key-value pairs.
It's perhaps debatable whether its iterator should
return just the keys or keys+values, but the decision
made here makes perfectly good sense to me. In real
life, it doesn't seem at all odd to ask things like
"Is 'furgleblunger' in the dictionary?"

But if someone asked me "Is 7 in 42?" I'd think
I'd misheard them somehow.
