[Python-ideas] Add sorted (ordered) containers

[Neil Girdhar]

Those are great articles.  One thing that Andrew does recommend would be to 
standardize the interface to the sorted containers, and add them to 
collections.abc as SortedDict, and SortedSet.

I recently switched from blist to sortedcontainers and it would be nice to 
have these standardized going forward.

Another reason to standardize them is for use with the new type checking.

Best,

Neil
