With Python3.9 there is a great feature for merging `dict`s:
{1: 'a'} | {2: 'b'} => {1: 'a', 2: 'b'}


It would be very handy to filter out a dict with a similar fashion (for example & operator with a list/tuple/frozenset of keys you want to get back):
{1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c'} & [1, 3, 4] == {1: 'a', 3: 'c'}
{1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c'} & {1, 3, 4} == {1: 'a', 3: 'c'}


Also, omitting specified keys (for example - operator with a list/tuple/frozenset of keys you want to suppress):
{1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c'} - [3, 4] == {1: 'a', 2: 'b'}
{1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c'} - {3, 4} == {1: 'a', 2: 'b'}


Regards!

I think you should bring this up on the python-ideas mailing list if you'd like to see it discussed. It will likely also require a PEP, similar to PEP 584.

I agree with Eric suggestion.
