If I have an associative array and I only modify it's values,

change?
Associative arrays are not ordered at all.
See the first note here: http://dlang.org/hash-map.html
The order is unspecified, but an iteration must iterate in *some*
order. The question (if I've understood it correctly), is whether
that order of iteration changes when the keys aren't changed.
The spec doesn't say anything about this, although I would expect
in practice that the order will not change.
I've added a bug to track this omission from the spec:
