my main objection to an asymmetrical + for dicts is that it would be difficult to remember which way it went.
Analogy with bytes + sequence would suggest that the left operand wins. Analogy with dict.update would suggest that the right operand winds.
Do you really think that's an issue? Arithmetic expressions are always evaluated from left to right. It thus seems obvious to me what gets created first, and what gets added afterwards (and overwrites what's there).
