Would these be the *non-mutating* methods desired of insertion-ordered dicts?
.iloc[sli:ce] .iloc[int] .iloc[[list,]] .iloc[callable] .iloc[bitmask]
.index(key)
No.
"iloc" sounds like a new Apple product to keep strangers out of your home, or maybe something to do with iterators.
Both slicing and "[list,]" arguments can be easily performed using a comprehension.
I have no idea what calling it with a callable or bitmask is intended to do, or why they would be useful, but bitmasks are usually ints, so how would it distinguish between the item at index 3 and the item with bitmask 3?
Is there a use-case for retrieving the insertion position of a key, or are we just adding it because we can?
