Detailed Description

Dictionary which handles updates of values for already existing keys

od.__setitem__(i, y) <==> od[i]=y
Updating an existing key appends the new value to the old value
instead of replacing it.

Arguments:
- `key`: key part of the key-value pair
- `value`: value part of the key-value pair
- `dict_item`: method which is used for finally setting the item
