There's all kinds of tricks we could do but none of them are worth it. It took Eric Snow a long time to write the OrderedDict patch and it took years to get most of the bugs out of it. I would really hate to go through a redesign and eat up our time for something that probably won't be much used any more.
I'm really just aiming for something as simple as s/OrderedDict/dict in namedtuple :-)
