+You don't need to pass an actual dict to a :class:`LoggerAdapter` - you could
+pass an instance of a class which implements ``__getitem__`` and ``__iter__`` so
+that it looks like a dict to logging. This would be useful if you want to
+generate values dynamically (whereas the values in a dict would be constant).
