Description

I find myself writing a lot of code to convert a nested TMap back into normal nested Dictionary. For example:

 

let thriftDict: TMap<String, TMap<Int64, Double>> // given this
var result = [String:[Int64:Double]]()
for (key, value) in thriftDict {
    result[key] = value.dictionary
}

Having TMap to begin with seems very un-Swifty but I realise getting rid of it is probably too big of a task at this point.

I wonder if there's a way to make the above code generic and include in the TMap implementation as `dictionaryDeepCopy`.
