something like:

a, b, c = my_magic_reordering_func(mydict, ["alpha", "beta", "charlie"])

..is not too far off, altho it is a little repetitive is is trivial to
write in current python and reaches the goal of insulating you from
some degree of change in the return value. can also be extended to
work with namedtuple for example (which you probably should already be
using if you want to return so many arguments that this is a problem,
returning several arguments is already returning a tuple under the
hood afterall)
