Why this behavior?

It's useful: e.g., you can use a set as a filter.

user=> (filter #{2 3 4 5} (range 1 10))
(2 3 4 5)


filter works just as well with a function that returns true and false, so that's not a particularly good example.

"Which of the items in this set comes first in this vector?"

(some #{:b :c} [:a :c :d])
;=> :c
