You have warned us for years that we should not count on collections being 
sorted (much like Ruby, PHP, etc). While I'll probably never get to use v6, I 
know I had tons of stuff that was dependent on being able to have a collections 
sorted by key. 

Ruby has a sort command that can sort hashes (collections).  Are you including 
a sort for collections in v6? Or will the developer have to extract the keys 
into an array, then sort the array and use the array to iterate through the 
collection?
