Concatenating dictionary values and keys, and further operations

Note that dictionary keys are not ordered, so--if I understand your
requirement correctly--it could also result in {'ba': [3, 4, 5, 1,
2]}.

According to this, I think that you shouldn't concatenate the lists,
but keep them apart instead.

> 3,'a',5,'a'
> 3,'a',6,'a'
> 3,'a',7,'b'

I don't understand very well what you want to do.  Could you explain
it more clearly, with an example?
