Since this would just be for adding methods (and maybe a property for returning the primary keys for a row) the usual disadvantages of subclassing `dict` described in that article shouldn't apply.

One catch: dictionaries already have a `.update()` method! So would have to pick another name.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",915421499,

More details in the issue for that feature: #240

The idea here is that if you want to call update you need the primary key for the row - so you can do this:

```python
for pk, row in db[""sometable""].pks_and_rows_where():
    db[""sometable""].update(pk, {""modified"": 1}"")
```
The `pk` may end up as a single value or a tuple depending on if the table has a compound primary key - but you don't need to worry about that if you use this method as it will return the correct primary key value for you.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",915421499,

Part of the philosophy of the library is that it should make it as easy as possible to round-trip between Python dictionaries and SQLite table data, so I don't think adding methods like this is going to fit.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",915421499,
