will not work - trying to edit the nested structure will fail silently
and nothing will have changed. No, this is not consistent with normal

temp = obj.db.mydict
temp[1][2] = "test"
obj.db.mydict = temp
val = obj.db.mydict[1][2] # now correctly returns "test"
mydict was updated and recreated in the database.
