Oh, and another thing: the items views can contain unhashable values That, of course, could be fixed: if the key-value pairs would only hash by key (ignoring the value), they would remain hashable. How would that help? The key/value pairs are ordinary tuples

They would have to stop being that:

class Association(tuple): def hash(self): return hash(self[0])

What use case are you thinking of that this would address?

It would allow to treat the items view as a proper set (which it still is).
