You could implement an OrderedMap!(Key, Value) via

We could add this as an alias into Phobos or perhaps as just a

V good point.
This is one of those small frictions that cumulatively raises the
cost of adoption for newcomers who are not by nature hackers but
want to get stuff done, and yet could be valuable members of the
D community over time. For whatever reason, there is some
resistance for many people to ask for help in a forum and it is
easy to be overwhelmed and give up. Modern people don't have
much tolerance for pain, even though that's an essential part of
learning and being a developer. And compare python where you
have OrderedDict and a search will find many examples of how to
use it.
I agree with comments about readability of library functions, but
maybe also worth extending hints and tips for common patterns /
code fragments.
What is the protocol for contributing to the wiki? Can one just
edit it ?
