Interesting. I wonder if other implementations like Jython and PyPy really
adhere to this official guarantee. At least Jython has the same paragraph
in its documentation and I would expect that PyPy follows it as well.

http://www.jython.org/docs/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict

Maybe this guarantee is just easy enough to build on the given
implementation details of a platform that it's a common property. Iteration
over data structures should tend to be deterministic, after all.
