 From the Wiki:

"Prothon will have {} mean a set and it will automatically change into 
a dictionary behind the scenes when you call a dictionary method on it."

You mean that the first element addition operation would cause the type 
to crystalize into either a set or a dict and then that type would be 
fixed for the lifetime of the object, right?

Even then it feels a bit skanky. What was your rational for not using 
{} for empty dictionaries and {-} for empty sets?
