s/collection/sequence

Collections in the languages that support them are unordered.

A string is a sequence of characters in a particular character set.
Examples in ASCII include the sentence "Hello, World", the URL
"http://www.flossmanuals.net/", or  the text message "No such file or
directory." Unicode strings can include any combination of languages,
such as "Japan (日本) and Korea (대한민국)".
