Right. That's why it should not accept input that can only be
unordered (including dict and **kwargs) - this is what I mean by
strict mode.

IMHO the statement "the order is determined by whoever does the
adding" is false in 9/10 cases of passed dict. In 9/10 cases whoever
supplies dict or **kwargs argument is unaware of what mistake he is
making, and how many hour she will spend discovering the issue.
