For CPython true, but abstractly, dicts are sets with values, and
mappings are often viewed as sets of key,value pairs.

In addition to all other responses you received, I'd add that lists and
dictionaries share the same

Abstractly, which is to say, behaviorally, a Python list is a sequence
class as defined under Built-in Types in the Library manual.

Thanks Chris. Lua tables are one of my favorite linguistic traits, which
was actually part of the discussion that brought up this nugget.
Nevertheless, any details you care to provide about the details. I'm going
to dive into the source code in more depth tomorrow, just so I can get a
better unde
