I realize it's redundant (same effect as 'dict[x] = y'), We don't have [].push(), and I don't think the metaphor really works well with dictionaries. There's also an implied ordering relationship between push() and pop(), and this doesn't hold for dictionaries either. > 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. There's only a limited amount on conceptual polymorphism between the two; artificial extending that may lead to a lot of programmers using the wrong structure for their application. -Fred -- Fred L.
