I'll give this to Jeremy for consideration, since he's working on a restructuring of the function call code anyway. I'll note thta this is really low priority.

This patch makes BUILD_MAP more like BUILD_LIST, and uses these newfound abilities to compile literal dictionaries into code more like that for lists and tuples.

No reason, really, beyong asthetics & the fact that this'll make some hacks I want to inflict on the function call mechanism easier...

While this change make the generated code a lot simpler, it
also has a high cost in speed and memory.  The stack for a code
object needs to be big enough to hold all the keys and values,
which can be costly.  The pybench dict creation benchmark slows
down about 15%.

After all this change was implemented as a part of PEP 448 implementation (issue2292). But it was not documented and current documentation of the BUILD_MAP opcode doesn't match the implementation. See also issue26213.
