Thank you for this little hint, George.
I've never used update on a dict and the zip function before.
This is a nice application of these functions.

And I agree, performance is not an issue by selecting a tuple instead
of a frozenset. The bytes_to_data function is the performance
bottleneck
in the actual application (implemented in parent class).
