[erlang-questions] Bug in sets module? Equal sets aren't equal

   I've just turned up this little problem:

hrm@REDACTED:~/nightglass/software/childe$ erl
Erlang/OTP 18 [erts-7.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [async-threads:10] [kernel-poll:false]
3> sets:from_list([[2, 2], [2, -2]]) =:= sets:from_list([[2, -2], [2, 2]]).
false

   Is this expected behaviour, or a bug in the sets module?

   How should I compare sets for equality? There's no equality
comparison function in the module. (I can see any number of solutions
I could roll myself, but they're all a bit ugly).

   Hugo.
