Description
This is more-or-less a problem with Python's dict implementation, IMO. It's
really nothing more than a convenience thing, but for SortedDict, repr(d)
doesn't indicate the proper key order. It seems that the standard dict.repr
does not iterate over the dict like I would expect it to.
Attached is a patch that re-implements repr using an iterator over the
object. Thus, SortedDict's are displayed properly in the Python shell.

(In [5069]) Fixed #3964 -- Added a custom SortedDict.repr so that the keys are printed
in sorted order. Based on a patch from Forest Bond.
