Yes, but, instead of creating a view, you can create and cache the
pointer of a "real" object, that implements the dict view API.
For example, keys for a frozendict could be an "ordered" frozenset.
This "oset" could be a frozendict, which values are the keys and the
keys are the key hashes (as set).

There's a huge difference, and it's in the contract. As I said, if we
assume that a frozendict is immutable, we can optimize its speed.
Furthermore, currently no real functional programming can be done in
Python with dicts.
