I would wait a little bit. OrderedDict will probable become a pure synonym
for dict,
in a few releases, and the repr issue will solve itself, both giving the
even simpler/nicer {'a': '1', 'b': '2'}
Your proposal expose that dicts are ordered (which they are, but it's
hidden). Once exposed, OrderedDict are obsolete and should be in the
namespace only for backward compatibitlity.
