Actually, my needs are:

insert(key, value)
delete(key)
get(key)
each_by_insertion_order

I don't want to manage two sets of keys.

Basically, I need to be able to manipulate a number of objects on
the page queue, but they have to be rendered in the order inserted.
I handle other issues through transaction support via
Transaction::Simple.
