Given that we're blessing current behavior:
- At any moment, iteration order is from oldest to newest. So, "yes"
to your question.
- While iteration starts with the oldest, .popitem() returns the
youngest. This is analogous to how lists work, viewing a dict
similarly ordered "left to right" (iteration starts at the left,
.pop() at the right, for lists and dicts).
