it's not falling back automatically.
but you can do:
```
package require pdtcl_compat
if { [catch {dict create} ] } { namespace import ::pdtcl_compat::dict }
```

(i notice that the documentation says differently (and Pd uses the 
compat library as documented), but the documented way appears to not 
work correctly (as in: it uses the slow emulation)

i'm afraid only a subset of `dict` is implemented.
i've had no real need for `dict for`, so it's not there.
