Actually a Map can preserve order. This is the case of LinkedHashMap, which can 
behave just like a List regarding insertion order (minus duplicated keys).

The problem with SortedMap is that it requires the definition of a Comparator, 
and I don't know how we could define a comparator for Expressions.

However if we could decide to use an ordinary Map instead and mandate in the 
javadoc that insertion order must be preserved. It would be a documentation 
contract without type enforcement however.
