I may be missing something here (didn't follow the whole thread) but
those two are not functionally equal.
The docstring on frozenset sais "Build an immutable unordered collection."
So there's no guarantee that the elements will return from the
frozenset iterator in the order that you constructed the frozenset with,
right?
