Then you've never programmed in PHP I take it.  PHP's one-size-fits-all 
data structure is an insertion-ordered dict; PHP programmers use it 
everywhere a Python programmer might use a dict /or/ a list.  I've had 
one or two people tell me having both behaviors in one object is "really 
useful every-so-often", though they didn't go into any more detail.  
Can't really see the advantage, myself.
