So, on a whim I implemented a "RDict" class for the JVM that does the  
necessary adaptation.  (It consists almost entirely of generic type  
declarations and no actual code ;)  I haven't integrated it into the  
Python code yet, looking to see where best to do that.

Are most of the tests for custom dicts in test_objectmodel?  Also,  
why are they called "rdicts" in some places, and "custom dicts" in  
others?  Or is there a distinction I am missing?
