True. However a set of truly unordered elements cannot be implemented
otherwise than on top of an ordered set. E.g. to be able to implement
membership test. Either the container imposes some order on the elements or
else the elements have some arbitrary order.

It is interesting to speculate about the interface of an unordered set such
that the clients could not exploit its ad-hoc order.
