  For a fuller discussion of the line I/O changes, see the python-dev
! summary for January 1-15, 2001.
  
  \item A new method, \method{popitem()}, was added to dictionaries to
  enable destructively iterating through the contents of a dictionary;
! this can be faster for large dictionaries because XXX.
  \code{D.popitem()} removes a random \code{(\var{key}, \var{value})}
! pair from the dictionary and returns it as a 2-tuple.  This was
! implemented mostly by Tim Peters and Guido van Rossum, after a
  suggestion and preliminary patch by Moshe Zadka.
