I will admit I'm not entirely sure what you meant with that last statement, but it sounds like you think `list` has a
bunch of the same methods as `dict` does. I count 11 methods on dict, 11 methods on list, and only 3 methods that are
shared (1 of which doesn't work precisely the same on both).
So I'm not seeing a bunch of similarity between the two.
And I'm not seeing any progress here in this discussion, so I'm dropping out
now.
