the "only until first deletion" part is really hard -- I hope we don't go that route. But I don't think insertion-order is non-obvious -- particularly with literals.
But I thought we *had* gone that route. Actually, there's no "route" to go here. We're only talking about documenting the existing semantics that cPython has, and I thought that included no longer guaranteeing insertion order after a delete. Although I can't prove that by experiment at the moment. I don't know whether my confusion above is an argument for or against documenting the behaviour :-) Paul
