I'm pretty sure the answer to this is No, but I thought I'd ask just in
case...
Is there a fast way to see that a dict has been modified? I don't care
what the modifications are, I just want to know if it has been changed,
where "changed" means a key has been added, or deleted, or a value has
been set. (Modifications to mutable values aren't important.) In other
words, any of these methods count as modifying the dict:
__setitem__
__delitem__
clear
pop
popitem
setdefault
update
Of course I can subclass dict to do this, but if there's an existing way,
that would be better.
