I understand {1,2,3} vs {k1:v1, k2:v2}, but what is the {genexp} for?
As I read that, if the generator yielded two-tuples, you would get a
set of two-tuples rather than a dict. There would be no comprehension
syntax for dicts.
I'm not sure we need a comprehension syntax for dicts, but I'm not
sure we need one for sets either.
>>> set(gen())
doesn't seem any worse than
>>> dict(gen())
