> One issue is that multiple compiler patterns may match,

Right, we can’t say “first matches” win if it’s unordered, and we won’t have OrderedDict in all versions supported by distutils2.  Make it a list of tuples.  First match wins, so people will have to write more specific regexes first.

That’s not a concern; extensions in setup.cfg are a new thing, and for the Python side, we already break a lot of code.
