I hardly think using your own project proves the general case...

If you think it does, let's look at my projects...  more than
one case of dict.update(), but *no* cases of iterdates
equivalents!

Combining this ratio with yours, we see that on average
dict.update() is infinitely more frequent than iterdates... ;-)
