Why do they need to be in the GET dictionary? If you want to add
custom information that will remain available throughout the request
process, just add an attribute to the request object itself:
request.new_key = 'new_val'.
(BTW, I wouldn't recommend using __setitem__ for anything - this is an
internal method, you should just do q['new_key']. But don't do this
anyway, as I say above.)
