Why are there no ordered dictionaries?

It seems everybody is in full agreement here.

I have the same mixed feeling about letting keys/values/items become 
both managed list attributes and still returning copies of the lists 
when called in the usual way as methods.

I don't know any precedent for doing things that way and i'm unsure 
whether it meets the Zen of Python. But anyway the idea is nice enough 
to try it out.
