Scott Wallace <scott.wallace at squeakland.org> was
not alone in suggesting that:
the following naive approach works painlessly:
Foo _ OrderedCollection new.
#(1 3 5) permutationsDo: [:each | Foo add: each].
Well no, it doesn't. If you try it, you get
an OrderedCollection( #(1 3 5) #(1 3 5) #(1 3 5) #(1 3 5) #(1 3 5) #(1 3 5))
which is close enough to one of the examples in Michael Grant's message to
make it obvious he'd tried something very like that.
