I'm open to suggestions on how to help make the patch more reviewable. Currently at roughly +2500 lines of code it's a lot to ask someone to review. While probably not the only way to help reviewers, I expect the best thing I could do is to split the patch up into several smaller parts.
However, I could use some insight into the best way to approach that. I keep considering factoring out the iterator/view boilerplate into helpers (macros?) in a separate patch. That would go a long way to making the actual cOrderedDict implementation more reasonably sized. I'm just not convinced yet it's the *right* approach.
