The entry for *dict view* in the glossary may be clarified, to avoid
confusion with collection.abc.Sequence i.e., from:

  They are lazy sequences that will see changes in the underlying
  dictionary.

to something like:

  They provide a dynamic view on the dictionary’s entries, which means
  that when the dictionary changes, the view reflects these changes.

See https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-October/036682.html

I've attached the corresponding doc patch.

If changing the glossary heading, make sure it is kept in alphabetical order and incoming links still work (e.g. look for `view` and <view>). And maybe “dictionary view” (full spelling, and singular) would be a more accurate heading.

The text changes look good however.

Thank you for `view`, <view> hint. I did look for :term:`view` that was
obviously not enough.

The new patch contains the renamed entry in the correct place. All `view`, <view>`
occurrences dictionary view are updated now.

Will commit this patch, except for the :dfn:`view` part. That isn’t a hyperlink, it just emphasizes the term.
