That's the first I've read of iterating through dictionaries, I'd
assumed it was impossible because they're unordered.
Iteration doesn't require order, only to get each item once.
Even in very old Python versions you could iterate a dictionary
via the keys() method. More recently you can do it directly - although
the effect is the same. There is no guarantee of order only that
you process every item once.
