Hi all

I like dict comprehensions, but I don't use them very often, so when I do I 
need to look up the format.

I always struggle to find the information in the Library Reference. The 
obvious location, Mapping Types, shows various constructors, but not the 
comprehension.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict

So I turn to Google. It shows a couple of StackOverflow questions, and then 
a link to the Data Structures section of the Tutorial, which explains it 
succinctly.

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries

I feel that the Library Reference should be updated to include dict 
comprehensions.

Just checking here first before I raise a Documentation issue.
