Maybe I'm just paranoid, or maybe I'm missing something, but there are some facts about maps that I believe to be true in general, that I'd like to count on, and that as far as I can tell are not explicitly documented as being true. What it comes down to is whether the same (identical, not just same contents) map will be sequenced in a repeatable way. (I realize that the sequence can't be predicted from the contents.) For example, is it guaranteed that:
(keys m) and (vals m) will have always have corresponding items in corresponding positions (= (seq m) (seq m)) (= (vec m) (vec m)) etc. Is there a guarantee that's implied by other guaranteed facts, or is the status of these really undefined? I'm pretty sure implementations in general are going to behave according to my expectations, but I'm interested in the question of whether it can be relied on. Looking at documentation and online discussion, including some about the underlying Java, it appears to me that the behavior isn't actually guaranteed. I'm hoping someone will tell me why I'm wrong. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
