To do compares by value, either a custom compare function or a
`compare:' method (for all potential members) must be provided.

If by "randomly accessible" you don't mean by integer, then Map is
the way to go; if the keys are integers and sequential (or dense),
then an Array will be more efficient.  Note that the Map is not a hash
table -- searching is required.
