Documentation

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html

3.2.7.1. Dictionaries

The documentation says the following:
"Dictionaries are mutable; they can be created by the {...} notation."

However any Python interpreter shows the following result:

print(type({}))
<class 'dict'>
print(type({...}))
<class 'set'>

I suspect the documentation mixes up the empty set and empty dictionary creation.

Would you like to send a PR? I agree that using a valid set literal {...} to show how dicts are created is not right.
