-<REMARK>
-In the current source code, I implemented this as a dictionary attribute
-named <literal>Dictionary</literal>. While reasonably Pythonic, this
-is ultimately Not Good. We don't want people using a reference to the
-dictionary to change construction variables out from under an existing
-environment. We should use an internal <literal>_dict</literal>
-attribute and control access to it through a method, as specified above.
