OrderedDict for names?

[phaverty]

The OrderedDict type from DataStructures.jl might be a nice data structure to hold the names. OrderedDict will soon be based on a speedy implementation by Jeff Bezanson. OrderedSet might also be appropriate.

Yes, thanks, this is a good suggestion. I didn't know ordereddict was around.

Is OrderedDict faster than Dict?

[nalimilan]

I don't think it is, though I think Jeff's implementation is quite fast (i.e. more or less as fast as Dict). If it were faster, Dict could be implemented using OrderedDict.

I got the idea from this pull request:
JuliaLang/julia#10116
It is faster for certain things. It seems that it was considered for use in
base julia, but discussion is ongoing.
