The \module{UserDict} module defines the \class{UserDict} class
and \class{DictMixin}:
-\begin{classdesc}{UserDict}{\optional{initialdata}}
-Class that simulates a dictionary. The instance's
-contents are kept in a regular dictionary, which is accessible via the
-\member{data} attribute of \class{UserDict} instances. If
-\var{initialdata} is provided, \member{data} is initialized with its
-contents; note that a reference to \var{initialdata} will not be kept,
