I believe that if you redefine the value, the key should not change.
So, yes, I would expect that they value of the key to remain as they
were.

If you do:
Py> pets['Cat'] = 2
Py> pets['Dog'] = 3
Py> pets['DOG'] = 4
Py> pets['cat'] += 5
Py> pets.keys()
What should the result be?
"['Cat', 'Dog']" or "['cat', 'DOG']"?
That is to say, if you use a new case in r
I don't think that's sufficient. See how many methods the author of

redefine.
