Toot

I think I found a bad code smell today, but I wonder if there's a good reason I can't fathom, because the smells were stacked three deep.

Smell the first: instead of just writing mydict[mykey] = myvalue, every new key written to the dict was via a function update_dict, like so:

mydict = update_dict(mydict, mykey, myvalue)

1/3
