Scanning dict.keys() or set has linear complexity. dict.getkey() and
set.get() can be easily implemented with O(1).
I have no good use cases. Perhaps every problem which requires
dict.getkey() or set.get() can be solved with additional synchronized
dict which maps key to key. This is also true for TransformDict.
