Before getting too deep into iteration protocol for Sets (and Maps) there is a more fundamental issues: Will Set define a standard, implementation independent ordering of elements? If so, what is the basis for the ordering? Is it iteration order? Is so this will add likely add space overhead to the internal representation of Set and Map and/or time overhead to insert/delete operations. Also, for specializations of Set such as Integer Sets insertion order may not be the most desirable iteration ordering.
