What is the current status of this discussion?
I'd like to know whether it is a considered alternative implementation.

There is also a discussion in python-ideas right now where this
alternative is mentioned, and I think especially for small dicts
as **kwargs, it could be a cheap way to introduce order.

Is this going on, somewhere? I'm quite interested on that.

+1 I am also interested on the status. Many people seemed to have copied the recipe from the activestate site (was it?) but I wonder if it maybe was to cool to be progressed into "the field" or simply some understandable lack of resources?

All the best,
Stefan
