Or, I could derive from collections.OrderedDict and just implement the
two methods that I actually want to change the behavior of (did you read
the rest of my post?) ;)
That's one of the points I'm trying to make - why is it harder than it
needs to be to do something this simple?
The other is that the documentation of collections.OrderedDict seems to
be lacking (it is talking in terms of being a "dict" subclass, but it
actually isn't one).
