Is there any significant performance difference between the
tests, ``key in dictionary'' and ``dictionary.has_key(key)''?
I would prefer using the ``key in'' because it's a bit easier to
type, and can also be used with lists in addition to dictionaries.
While we're on that topic, is there a particular reason why
'in', in a dict context, searches the keys instead of doing the
logical thing and searching the values?
