Does the Dictionary token need a corresponding function?

I just realized I can treat dictionary values as numeric values by combining it with the CALCULATE() function, like this:

This will help me by letting me use dictionary values directly into calculations since some of my dictionaries contain numeric values. However it would be more concise if there was a DICTIONARY() function which worked the same way as the %Dictionary%% token. It would probably like this:

DICTIONARY(Timers,MyTimer)

Although it's rare for KM functions to contain strings as parameters, we can see above that the CALCULATE() function does, so it's not unprecedented. I suspect that the demand is low for this idea, so my idea will probably not be implemented. But I enjoy making suggestions.
