In my language iterating over dict yields (key,value) pairs, but the
equivalent of "x in dict" checks whether a key is present.

My Kogut<->Python binding is smart enough to convert these conventions
(which needed some work anyway because tuples could not be converted
implicitly between the languages). An ugly part of the conversion was
distinguishing between Python dictionaries, sequences and sets by the
presence of some methods. For the curious, bits of the binding are at
