[issue18510] dict.__contains__ raises exception instead of returning False

Commenting further:

    some_key in dict

is conceptually the same as 

    some_key in dict.keys()

which /would/ return False for an unhashable key -- at least it did in 2.x; for 3.x you have to say

    some_key in list(dict.keys())

which seems like a step backwards.

Is it worth changing __contains__ and keys() to be in line with equality?
