Well, I'd expect it to simply be there. I had not thought of
other usecases for the transformdict itself -
I had the same thought.
Well, it is not here for dict, set, etc.
In those cases the key in the dict == the key you're looking for.
With the exception of numbers, of course (float vs int vs Decimal, etc.).
But if that distinction was useful for someone they could use this new
TransformDict. :)
