Oh... i could have sworn the behaviour was undocumented. My apologies.
Still, i would include a warning that trellis.values(namme={}) leads to
a dictionary shared through multiple instances, as this might be a nasty
bug source, which is hard to reveal through unit-test etc. and is not
the behaviour i (as a first time user) would expect.

How about a section like 'traps' or 'common mistakes' which contains all
the donots for working with trellis?
