Since you asked, IMO 'FancyOrderedDict' would be an improvement over 'FancyODict'. I like the pattern of naming extended classes by applying a prefix to the name of the base. Seems to imply more strongly that an instance of the extension will be substitutable for an instance of the base.

Maybe there's a better prefix than 'Fancy' -- one that's more meaningful without being more cumbersome -- but I can't think of one right now.
