Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-shadow-parts] decide on forwarding micro-syntax for partmap

In my model the partmap is a dictionary where the values are <code>Set()</code>s of part names. So deleting would be <code>partmap['a'].delete('b')</code> and to remove "a" entirely, <code>delete partmap['a']</code> (although <code>partmap['a'].clear()</code> would have the same effect).

What's the tradeoff between a dictionary of sets and something with an explicit API. Are there operations that dictionaries/sets allow that we wouldn't want or conversely are there operations dictionaries/sets don't allow that we would want and couldn't add later without breaking compatibility? I don't really want to write up an API for something that behaves essentially as a dictionary of sets if I can avoid it.
