Review Comment:
   Hmm. Sorry for the back and forth here, but then I would maybe go back to 
the initial skip (with an updated comment). I don't think this is worth the 
complexity. We know that sets can be iterated multiple times (just with an 
non-deterministic order), and won't give a problem here, accept being difficult 
to test with general data. 
   (eg, while testing some other options, I also noticed that for the case of 
null type, for a set it actually created a different array because of 
de-duplicating the sequence)
