Mentioned in the Readme.rst that db[4] and db['4'] are identical

Keys should always be strings, according to sqlitedict docs.

Maybe it's better if we raise an exception when user supplies a non-string key, rather than relying on implicit type conversions? I'm not sure.

Either way, I'm -1 on promoting non-string keys directly in the docs. It could remain an undocumented feature if it works.

We could perhaps somehow stress the point that keys are always strings; the wording may be too casual now.
