Personally, I wouldn't mind having all four; for one thing, the name 'transformdict' would then be entirely appropriate. ;) The key decoder function is quite useless since the original key is retained. As for the value encoder/decoder, I don't really see the point: just store whichever value you want to retrieve later. The main point of transformdict is that the lookup is done using a different key than the user-provided key.
Very good points. I am convinced.
