Right, we can’t say “first matches” win if it’s unordered, and we won’t have 
OrderedDict in all versions supported by distutils2.  Make it a list of tuples. 
 First match wins, so people will have to write more specific regexes first.

That’s not a concern; extensions in setup.cfg are a new thing, and for the 
Python side, we already break a lot of code.
