Agreed; no need to add this to update().

Sounds good to me.  Should we adopt "dict" as an alias and keep
"dictionary" as the official name, or vice versa, or simply eradicate
dictionary and introduce dict in 2.2b2?

It's up to you to implement this, I have some other things I need to
get done first.
