"""Illustrates how to place a dictionary-like facade on top of a dynamic_loader, so
that dictionary operations (assuming simple string keys) can operate upon a large
collection without loading the full collection at once.
This is something that may eventually be added as a feature to dynamic_loader() itself.
Similar approaches could be taken towards sets and dictionaries with non-string keys
although the hash policy of the members would need to be distilled into a filter() criterion.
