Seems the context got lost. This is a part of my example, now without 
underscores:

     { 'permission': {KEY: 'permissions', DEFAULT: ()} }

KEY and DEFAULT are not dictionary keys, they are constants that contain 
dictionary keys.

I started my prototype with explicit dictionary keys like here:

     { 'permission': {'key': 'permissions', 'default': ()} }

But I replaced them later with constants imported from one place to 
catch typos easily.
