Or possibly just "dict(existingdict).update(newitems)".

Do you mean .update accepts values tuple? I can't think it's

My primary concern is still to avoid making CPython performance characteristics part of the Python language definition. That only makes it harder for alternate implementations.

Note that this proposal is not only for key sharing dict:

These characteristics are not only for Python, but for all mapping implementations using hash table.
