Using an Associative array instead of a dictionnary ?

Hi everyone !

I work on pillar and I saw that all the parameters are store inside an
associative array.
Do we have an advantage doing that ? Because it would be more
convinient to use a Dictionnary I think but maybe i'm missing
something.

probably order.
but now you can use OrderedDictionary to supply that.
