Yes, making dictionaries faster by a bit would not give you huge
speedups everywhere. It'll give you a small, measurable speedup a bit
everywhere. This is much better than a lot of things that cpython does
which is a performance win.

Note that there are two PEPs (sorted order in kwargs and sorted order
in class names) which would be superseded by just reviewing this patch
and merging it.
