-    This Mapping class wraps a given dict. When a value for a key is
-    requested via __getitem__() or get(), the key is looked up in the
-    given dict. If found there, the value from the dict is returned.
-    Otherwise, the default value given upon initialization is returned.
+    This is designed to be used with str.translate in study1.
+    Anything not specifically mapped otherwise becomes 'x'.
+    Example: replace everything except whitespace with 'x'.
 
-    This allows using str.translate() to make some replacements, and to
-    replace all characters for which no replacement was specified with
-    a given character instead of leaving them as-is.
-
-    For example, to replace everything except whitespace with 'x':
-
-    >>> whitespace_chars = ' \t\n\r'
-    >>> preserve_dict = {ord(c): ord(c) for c in whitespace_chars}
-    >>> mapping = StringTranslatePseudoMapping(preserve_dict, ord('x'))
