Re: How would you name this dictionary?

I would need to know more about what it might be used for. What larger
problem led you to writing a `dict` subclass with this particular
`__missing__` implementation?

  The Python Library Reference (Release 3.13.0a0) contains:

|>>> class Default(dict):
|...     def __missing__(self, key):
|...         return key

  . Otherwise, I personally might think of:

|>>> class DefaultsToKey( dict ):
|...     def __missing__( self, key ):
|...         return key
