Cool, thanks. Someone has commented on my blog that passing lists to ``keys``, ``values``, and ``items`` to assign to them "smells funny". They've suggested new methods ``setkeys``, ``setitems``, ``setvalues`` instead.

If you look in the code, there is already a commented out version of ``__repr__`` that does this. *Unfortunately*, it means changing *all* the doctests - so it will have to wait until one of us can be bothered. :-) It will happen in the course of time I guess.
