+Since a while now, PyPy preserves the order of dictionaries and sets.
+However, the set literal syntax ``{x, y, z}`` would by mistake build a
+set with the opposite order: ``set([z, y, x])``. This has been fixed.
+Note that CPython is inconsistent too: in 2.7.12, ``{5, 5.0}`` would be
+``set([5.0])``, but in 2.7.trunk it is ``set([5])``. PyPy's behavior
+changed in exactly the same way because of this fix.
