Thanks ken for your response .. I think I completely misrepresented my question in my previous email . What i want to know is suppose I have two sets s1,s2 and (= s1 s2)
returns true which means I can definitely find pairs of values v1 from s1 and v2 from s2 where (= v1 v2) would be true. Now my question is if I do a seq on both the sets s1 and s2 would I be right in assuming that the ordering of the elements is identical or would even (identical? v1 v2) have to be true to have any guarantees on the orderings of the two seqs being the same...
