Description

In sqlalchemy I can map a collection as a dictionary rather than a list:
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/orm/collection_api.html#dictionary-collections

Is this supported at all by marshmallow-sqlalchemy?

Research direction

Start with SQLAlchemy's dictionary collections documentation linked in the issue, then inspect marshmallow-sqlalchemy's current collection handling and tests. Determine whether collection=attribute_keyed_dict is already supported and identify the expected serialized and deserialized shapes. Done means the support question is answered by behavior or a focused implementation with coverage for dictionary collections.
