Well, then I am asking whether it is a good idea / should be allowed. We already have a tool to store list of elements without changing them, and it is called a list. It is also much faster. FiniteEnumeratedSet is aimed to not modify the input it gets. So if > you feed it with Python objects which are not elements it will not > complain and you have to go with that.

Are you telling me that the category code has to be written without making the assumption that the elements of a parent have a .parent() function ? If so, don't we have a LOT of code to update ?
