I am strong -1 on the proposal.
The plus operation on two dictionaries feels far more natural as a
vectorised merge, were it to mean anything. E.g., I'd expect
{'a': 5, 'b': 4} + {'a': 3, 'b': 1}
{'a': 8, 'b': 5}
That's only a natural expectation if you also expect the values in your
dict to be addable (in the sense of doing something useful with a "+"
operator). It never occurs to me to make that assumption because a fair
amount of the time it isn't true in my code.
