+1 for inc instead of count.
-1 for inc, increment, or anything that carries a
connotation of *increasing* the value, so long as
the proposal allows for negative numbers to be
involved. "Incrementing by -1" is a pretty silly
picture.
+1 for add and, given the above, I'm unsure there's
a viable alternative (unless this is restricted to
positive values, or perhaps even to "+1" specifically).
appendlist seems a bit too specific (I do not use dictionaries of lists
that often).
As Raymond does, I use this much more than the other.
The problem with setdefault is the name, not the functionality.
get_or_set would be a better name: we could use it as an alias for
setdefault and then remove setdefault in Python 3000.
Agreed...
