(This might not be specific to Revise, but I have not looked for other examples yet. Will change the title if this topic applies more generally.) sort usually does not work with dictionaries, but it starts to work after using Revise, even though Revise does not export sort . test_dict = Dict(1=>2, …

This is a classic case of type piracy , in this case within OrderedCollections. Revise isn’t actually relevant here except that it happens to be the first thing in your environment to use OrderedCollections and thus trigger the issue. This was actually already identified as a bug in OrderedCollection…

`using` a package that uses `OrderedCollections` can silently add function methods?
