You reiterate my point. To say that dict.__init__ can be omitted in a
subclass's __init__ with no effect, is not a correct statement.
It wasn't the omitted case that exhibits the difference. When
sub-classing, any methods omitted defer to the parent's version so the
init from the dict parent happened.
"omitted in a subclass's __init__", ie. a *call* to the superclass's method
