Yes, for sets of sets it's still an open question how to deal with
them, since there's obviously no one correct way to order them.

One idea Odile and I came up with was to maybe have a custom doctest
output parser for sets that is able to compare sets be value without
worrying about their display order.

This dovetails partially with a different, but related idea, of making
it possible to implement (either global, or per-module) custom doctest
parsers: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/26774
