I didn't know about that aspect of it, only the graphics part. So will
doctests automatically fail if people put them in the order that their
computer gives and it's not sorted? That could be confusing! So maybe it
should still be mentioned in the guide, along with the graphics piece -
which is not what the command line gives.
And, more relevant to my immediate concern, what if the keys themselves
are dictionary-enough that ''they'' are platform-dependent? See #16331
for an explicit example of this. It would be great if you could give some
advice for that, because we haven't come to any useful consensus yet.
