Thanks for all the constructive feedback. Here are some responses and a new proposal.

- Yes, I'd like to kill setdefault() in 3.0 if not sooner.

A worthy goal, but not possible unless you want to break existing code. I don't think it's worth a DeprecationWarning either. Slating it for removal in 3.0 seems fine.

Everything else about your proposal seems great.
