Hi,
Like the subject says: Why is an OrderedDict not sliceable? (From the
collections library). Was that an intentional omission, or a mistake? [1]
Background: I do not use OrderedDict very often, but I thought I could use it
to look up street and city names using postcodes ([0-9]{4} [a-z]{2} format). I
needed it to be ordered because I also wanted to be able to use bisect, which
is needed when the postcode letters are missing. In short: a fast dict lookup
for complete postcodes and less fast bisect lookup for in complete postcodes.

Thanks!
