In Py3.7 we can use the insertion order preservation to write:
dict(sorted(D.items()))
or
{k:D[k] for k in sorted(D)}
It's still a bit circuitous to write compared to just
D
but it does express the intent and prints like a dictionary (because it is
one). I'm not sure I'm in favour of it, but we should take it into account
when deciding what we do (the thread on python-devel dealing with
specifying insertion order preservation in Py7 has some lively discussion
on `pprint` and its sorting behaviour).
