Admittedly thats not entirely intuitive. It is at least _determinate_.

We still have 2 other alternatives:

(1) Fully diff the collections
(2) Just not worry about this problem. People should be able to figure out
that they are messing with the collection "behind our back" and not be too
surprised to see some screwy results.

I'm happy with either approach....
