 Replying to [comment:134 zooko]:
 > Hm, hey doesn't this boil down to checking whether {{{sharedict[k]}}} is
 in there or not?...

 Something like that, actually. I shied away from that when I was writing
 that snippet because I thought that it would end up being really fragile,
 but it turned out not to be. Thanks.

 I liked your other suggestions, and implemented them, including the
 assertion in {{{upload.servers_with_shares}}} and a test for it. I've also
 fixed a few other issues that I found while I was fixing the ones you
 pointed out. I'm attaching new patches with all of these changes.
