Out of curiosity, how could using an `OrderedDict` be breaking since the standard `Dict` does not specify an order at all?

Breaking in the sense that users now need to use `OrderedDict` to construct spatial data objects:

```julia
PointSetData(OrderedDict(:precipitation => rand(100)), rand(2, 100))

```

The goal is to eliminate `*Dict` in future releases in favor of any object satisfying the Tables.jl API. In particular, I would like to refactor all implementations to use DataFrames.jl internally.

I see, I thought it was something that was returned.
