Nonetheless, I can't see as a "dict-view" for this data could
replicate the full order - and be usable
in the sense of using keys.

I think that if one needs the full order as stated, the obvious way to
consume that data is as a sequence
of 2-tuples.

On the other hand, I am +1 for a standardization of this, and for the
implementation of a "dict-view" to an object that otherwise is a
sequence of 2-tuples.
