Or in other words, if dicts are to be ordered, let's make it an explicit language feature that we can measure compliance against. Guaranteeing a dict order would be tough on Jython - today it's nice that we can just have a thin wrapper around ConcurrentHashMap. In a world with hard ordering guarantees I think we'd need to write our own from scratch.
