Who cares about tuple comprehensions, but I would like similar syntactic sugar for dict comprehensions as for lists: {k:v for k,v in S}

If you have that, as well as generator expressions, someone is going to want

k:v for k,v in S

as a bare expression to be some sort of generator. What exactly it would generate isn't clear...
