In general, Rich has been careful not to promise things that might
limit changes he can make in the future. Sets and maps are unordered.
`seq` happens to be deterministic on ArrayMap and HashMap, but there
might some day be some other kind of map or set for which `seq` cannot
be deterministic. Therefore, Clojure does not promise anything about
`seq` on maps, other than that it will return the key-value pairs.
