Is there ANY chance of setting the default reply-to to the list? I know
everyone else thinks that's a bid idea, but I doubt this was actually
intended just for me.

If it was, I apologize for bringing it back on the list.

itertools.islice is implemented in C too. No need to call next() from

Ahh -- thanks! I had no idea islice() was in C -- yes, then, there probably
is little to gain from a C implementation.

I'd still be interested in the performance comparison, but not enough to
try to write a direct-access-to-the-internals-of-dict C version myself :-)

I still like the idea of indexing the order-preserving dict, but we do seem
to not have any compelling use cases.

Particularly if someone does get a reservoir sampling implementation in the
stdlib. (see another thread for that)
