1) coverting to set or list is O(n) in time
2) if I have to keep the old copy,
standard set solution will be O(n) both in time and space!
working examples:
1) priority queue:
insert and pop occur
2) share immutable data to difference subroutines:
each one can modify local copy safely and concurrency.
