1st is the way to verify that two lists contain the same set of values (when order does not matter). There's a dozen of ways to do it via basic api, for example:
I added a Str.chars method, that seems generally useful.
Regarding list comparisons that is really because we are lacking true set functionality. I had an proposal to add an List.isSet mode via `http://fantom.org/sidewalk/topic/884`. I still think we probably want something like that eventually maybe in 1.1, so I don't want to add anything that would conflict with those enhancements.

Can we also get a Str.fromChars(Int[])? I found myself needing that last night.
Edit: clarify method signature

I was thinking that myself if we should have that if we are going to have Str.chars

I found that I miss several things in sys api.

but I think a single method can be useful.
Also, list equality with type checks is a constant pain:
And the last minor note - it would be great to have either sys::Str.map or sys::Str.toChars
