Here is a patch which will return False instead of TypeError. This is
the same behavior a normal set has. Two things though.

1. I don't know wether the 'import _abcoll' statement somehow influences
the bootstrap in one way or the other, because 'from _abcoll import
Iterable' does.

2. The current WeakSet implementation returns True if a WeakSet is
compared to any Iterable which contains the same set of objects:

>>> import weakref
>>>
>>> class Foo: pass
...
>>> l = [Foo(), Foo(), Foo()]
>>> ws = weakref.WeakSet(l)
>>> ws == l
True

Not sure wether this is intended, since this is not the same behavior of
a normal set. If it is intended, I think it should be documented.
