There's also the question of whether the order is significant. Does a == b if a and b contain exactly the same items, but in a different order? If they are lists, then yes; if they are multisets, then no.
I'm afraid you have made a mistake. List equality does not ignore order.
[1, 2, 3] == [2, 1, 3] False
Oops! Wrong way round. I meant: If they are multisets, then yes; if they are lists, then no.
