Dictionaries are created using the "{...}" notation, not the "..."
notation. Problem reported by Magnus L. Hetland <mlh@idt.ntnu.no>.

Numeric types used for keys obey the normal rules for numeric
comparison: if two numbers compare equal (e.g., \code{1} and
\code{1.0}) then they can be used interchangeably to index the same
dictionary entry.
