Yeah, but it seems to me to make sense to compare the whole value in each position, not just that which determines the order
For most other collections, it would. But people could justifiably complain about TreeSets doing twice as much work as necessary for the common cases, then.

Definitely. I was adding printlns all over the code, every line of which I was sure I trusted... before I focused in on the one line with the equality check, and finally realised what was happening!
