In a crazy, I-haven't-yet-had-my-coffee-yet desperate attempt at
resurrecting PEP 274, what if we made dict (and maybe tuple) accumulator
functions too?  Then if something like dict(genex) would work, how hard
would it be to add some syntactic sugar for that in {genex}?  Aren't we
kind of close already?

>>> from __future__ import generators
>>> def a():
...   for x in 'hello world':
...    yield x
... 
>>> dict([(c, c) for c in a()])
{' ': ' ', 'e': 'e', 'd': 'd', 'h': 'h', 'l': 'l', 'o': 'o', 'r': 'r', 'w': 'w'}

Okay, I promise, I'll shut up now about PEP 274.
