This pattern is commonly implemented using a `try..except KeyError around the del`. This avoids the double key lookup and I /think/ is faster.

But since this is a super small function and won't be called with high frequency (I assume), it shouldn't be a problem. If a loop were so tight that it mattered, execution time would be dominated by Python function call overhead, not the low-level primitives inside the function.
