Should we then add dict.push(), which would add a key/value pair to the
dictionary?  I realize it's redundant (same effect as 'dict[x] = y'),
but I think anyone who's gone through a CS course in data structures
and algorithms will expect push() where there's pop(), and it will allow
functions to be polymorphic over lists and dicts.

Greg (who's not lobbying for it, just wondering if it's a loose end)
