It's an ill-considered kluge, IMO, and the choice of a magical tuple or
a magical dictionary for the kluge's implementation makes no real
difference.  Sorry if I wasn't clear about that (probably lost some
explicitness in rewriting it after losing the first, more colorful,
version).

I'm not opposed in principle to solving this within quixote, although I
can't really think of anything I would do with it myself - the places
where I've used _q_lookup are not amenable to any sort of static list
or mapping.
