I'm a little puzzled as to why you'd need these, since it seems
like all they allow you to is hard-code a certain combination of
statically defined objects. That is, if you're going to do
{ 'a': 1, 'b': 2 } + { 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
. . .why not just write
{ 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
in the first place?
