contains is an object comparison, so it is by reference except when dealing
with primitives I believe. The collection wouldn't know how you wanted to
compare your objects so you'll have to iterate and check the relevant
properties or extend a collection class, add a containsByValue, and have
your objects implement a Comparable interface of some kind.
