dict.get() is a very useful method, but for lists and tuples, we need to
rely on try/except instead.
Can we get list.get and tuple.get as well?
If PEP 463 "Exception-catching expressions" were accepted and
implemented, we wouldn't need any of them:
val = myDict[k] except KeyError: default
val = myList[n] except IndexError: default

Also, for list, a list.setdefault like the dict.setdefault would be logical.
