Hi Steve and all,

Thanks!

Totally agree. And as others mentioned in this thread, I agree the use cases 
for Sorted Containers are weak to make it worthwhile to be added to stdlib. I 
was more thinking about the completeness of the stdlib when I was proposing, 
but I do agree there is a cost/benefit analysis need to be done and it is great 
to see all the responses. 
As other pointed out this is mainly useful to implement some kind of cache, but 
since we already have lru_cache a lower level sorted dict may not be needed. 

Thanks for all the responses. 

Best,
Bob
