I think, what Dragan was refering to is the shared structure in a set.
Let's say you have to two sets A' and A'' which evolved from set A by
adding elements. So the internal structure is partially shared. So
when comparing A' with A'' and you hit in both sets the same shared
structure you can short-circuit, knowing that they are equal and you
have to only compare the rest.

Whether this is possible, feasible, etc... Dunno. No clue here.

Sincerely
Meikel
