In my odict implementation I have disallowed that syntax because if you want to define a mydict(**kwds) function that allows a syntax like: mydict(a=6, b=7) it takes a dict as argument, such dict is currently not ordered. If built-in dicts become ordered, then that dict too may become ordered :-) Anyway, maybe it's good to ignore the inserting order of items when you look for odict equality.
