Can we have a tree type in 3.3, independent of dict?

I'd be happy to see that happen, but I guess the usual requirements on stdlib extensions would apply here. I.e., someone has to write the code, make sure people actually use it to prove that it's worth being added, make sure it runs in different Python implementations, donate the code to the PSF asking for stdlib addition and agree to maintain it in the future.

Such an addition is a totally separate issue from the hash collision attack issue.
