Sorry Steven I didn't see your clever dict.__repr__ solution that Chris
pointed out too. That's what I was looking for ^^
And now for pprint, apparently that doesn't seem difficult to implement.
About the part where "the representation looses the type information",
pformat(od) could be "OrderedDict{1:2, 3,4}" or "OrderedDict({1:2, 3:4})"
but I don't ask for repr or pprint to change, just curious about how to
implement that.
