+1 for adding "+" or "|" operator for merging dicts. To me this operation:
{'x': 1, 'y': 2} + {'z': 3} {'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3}
Is very clear. The only potentially non obvious case I can see then is when there are duplicate keys, in which case the syntax could just be defined that last setter wins, e.g.:
{'x': 1, 'y': 2} + {'x': 3} {'x': 3, 'y': 2}
Which is analogous to the example:
new_dict = dict1.copy() new_dict.update(dict2)

We don't use [*args, *fargs] for concatenating lists, but args + fargs. Why not use "+" or "|" operators for merging dicts?
