I'm not sure whether this was raised explicitly, but Ian at least
mentioned it:  Are they keys to the dictionary in some way restricted?

For instance, I think it would be reasonable to say that only valid
names (or possibly expressions starting with a valid name) would be
looked up in the dictionary, as a way of explaining why {0} means
position zero, rather than dict['0'].
