[New-bugs-announce] [issue19026] OrderedDict should not accept dict as parameter

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

I wonder why OrderedDict accepts dict as parameter in a first place? OD is used when order is important and if plain dict is supplied, the order is lost.

    >>> d = {3:4, 1:2}
    >>> OD(d)
    OrderedDict([(1, 2), (3, 4)])

OrderedDict should not accept dict as parameter.
