This does not necessarily entail anything about their elements, how those elements are ordered, etc., it just means two Sequences are substitutable. `elementsEqual` means that the two Sequences produce substitutable elements. These are different concepts and both are independently useful.

I agree that ‘==‘ conveys substitutability.  Here is the issue:

	let a = Set([1,2,3,4,5])
	let b = Set([5,4,3,2,1])

	a == b //True, they are substitutable

	[1,2,3,4,5].elementsEqual(a) //True
	[1,2,3,4,5].elementsEqual(b) //False… I guess they weren’t actually substitutable after all


Thanks,
Jon
