> I just took the time to read the proposal and glance through the discussion, and I thought I’d pitch an alternative that I didn’t see anyone else propose (maybe because it’s a dumb idea 🙂). I think we should deprecate Sequence.elementsEqual(\_:) and not rename it at all.

I don't think it's a dumb idea and I think it should be considered.

Sets are inherently unordered collections. Placing any guarantees at all about iteration order (outside of `OrderedSet`) may not be in line with the type's fundamental semantics.
