It was easier than I thought, so it's in place. Version 1.0.2 uses a subclass of dict whose repr sorts the keys. The running time doesn't seem to be substantially affected. (Oh how I love subclassing builtin classes!)

Make that 1.0.3. There were two relevant dict usages -- one for globals and one for locals. :-)
