pprint functions used to sort a dict (by key) if and only if
the output required more than one line. "Small" dicts got displayed in seemingly random order (the hash-induced order produced by dict.__repr__). None of this was documented. Now pprint functions always sort dicts by key, and the docs promise it. This was proposed and agreed to during the PyCon 2006 core sprint -- I just didn't have time for it before now.
