To save me the trouble and potential error of digging through the
source code: What's the complexity of membership testing on
values/items? Since you're calling it "efficient" it must be better
than O(n) which the list form would be, yet it isn't O(1) or you
wouldn't have qualified "in the case of keys". Does this mean
membership testing of the values and items views is O(log n) in some
way, eg a binary search?
