I strongly opposed adding an ordered guarantee to regular dicts. If the

we have a perfectly good explicit OrderedDict for those who want that.
If there is an ordered guarantee for regular dicts but not for dict
literals, which is the subject of this thread, then haven't we got a
recipe for the kind of confusion that will lead to the number of
questions from newbies going off of the Richter scale?
