-The cost of preserving order is that the number of `Vector`s stored in the `TypeSortedCollection` becomes equal to the number of contiguous subsequences of the input collection that have the same type, as opposed to simply the number of different types in the input collection. Note that calls to `map!` and `foreach` with both `TypeSortedCollection` and `AbstractVector` arguments are correctly indexed, regardless of whether order is preserved:
