[Python-Dev] Proposal: add odict to collections

No. This would contribute to the confusion, not resolve it. If it's
called "ordered dictionary", it shouldn't do sorting at all. If it does
sorting, it should be called "sorted dictionary", and mandate a
comparison function (which might default to cmp).
