Well. Now that dictionaries remember their order in newer Python versions, there is a case to be made that dict(a=1, b=2) is not the same dictionary as dict(b=2, a1). So they should be different dict keys, if they could be dict keys.

    dict(a=1,b=2) == dict(b=2,a=1)
is True (on 3.7.3). I'm not too keen on introducing a third type of equality on the same type, even if it makes some theoretical sense.
