Hi all,

Note that raymonds proposal would make dicts and ordereddicts almost exactly the same speed.

Just checking: in view of Raymond's proposal, is there a good reason against having all dicts be systematically ordered? It would definitely improve the debugging experience, by making multiple runs of the same program more like each other, instead of depending on the random address-based ordering. (Performance-wise, I guess it might be a little bit slower or faster depending on cache issues and so on, but the emphasis I'd put is on the "little bit".)

I apologize if this was already shot down.

A bientôt,

Armin.
