How is it supposed to work with set or dict or other iterables
without clear order?
see the discussion in another recent thread about making dict
indexable -- which looks like it's not going to happen.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of those.
so no -- this should not work with general iterables, indexes don't
really make sense for iterables, only Sequences.
It would be as useful as:
>>> min(dict(b=1, c=3, a=2))
'a'
I half expected 1 (and from argmin would expect 'b') but I see why the
actual result is "consistent".
