Constructs a dictionary with the entries which are specified
by key-value pairs.
Note that the key-value pairs are evaluated BEFORE the dictionary is
constructed.
<< >> operates the following way:
The characters << correspond to a mark which is pushed on the stack.
Next, all following key-value pairs are evaluated.
>> finally counts the number of pairs on the stack and constructs a
new dictionary.
/key - literal name
val - Object of any type
An ArgumentType error is raised if the
initializer list does not consist of proper /key value
pairs.
