Re: Access (ordered) dict by index; insert slice
Is there ANY chance of setting the default reply-to to the list? I know
everyone else thinks that's a bid idea, but I doubt this was actually
intended just for me.
If it was, I apologize for bringing it back on the list.

itertools.islice is implemented in C too. No need to call next() from
Python stack.
Ahh -- thanks! I had no idea islice() was in C -- yes, then, there probably is little to gain from a C implementation. I'd still be interested in the performance comparison, but not enough to try to write a direct-access-to-the-internals-of-dict C version myself :-) I still like the idea of indexing the order-preserving dict, but we do seem to not have any compelling use cases. Particularly if someone does get a reservoir sampling implementation in the stdlib.
