My gut reaction is that I'm not sold. With HTTP requests for example, I want to say `if 'id' in params`, whereas `if hasattr(params, 'id')` feels unnatural. But I also know that I'm accessing `params['id']` at programming time, so it would be great to shorten that to `params::id`.

(And this ignores converting to JSON. The library I use is designed to be passed dicts. You can teach it to accept arbitrary objects, but that's kind of a hack.)
