proposed patch, UNTESTED

It seems that System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary KeyCollection returns keys
in "added" order to the dictionary. And it is explicitly described in MSDN:

"The order of the values in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey,
TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection is unspecified, but it is the same order as the
associated keys in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.KeyCollection
returned by the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.Keys property. "
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x8bctb9c.aspx

While I believe this kind of explicit description as Microsoft's bad
subservient habit to noisy customers who claims implementations' consistent
behavior to prior versions, I have a patch to fix to fill this implementation
gap.

Though I haven't really tested the patch, as right now I'm on windows and the
runtime broke nunit-console runner on this platform.
