In the first case the first element is {1,2} and in the second case the first
element is {1,2,3,4} so from my point of view there's no way these are the
same.

None of the three use cases I conjured would want them considered equal, which
isn't to say there isn't some data structure somewhere out there which would,
but I haven't thought of it.
