This is implemented now, but in a different way. Suggested rewording:
In Python 2.2, the dictionary() constructor accepts an argument
that is a sequence of length-2 sequences, used as (key, value)
pairs to initialize a new dictionary object.
BTW, and not meaning to hijack your PEP <wink>, should dict.update() accept
such an argument too? I didn't add it because
d.update(dictionary(such_an_argument))
seemed "almost good enough".
BTW2, are we going to rename "dictionary" to "dict" before 2.2b2? Before
2.2, "dict" was universally used on c.l.py to mean dictionary, and I'm at
least +0 on adopting that for official 2.2 use.
