+Beware of non-determinism due to iteration order of pointers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In general, there is no relative ordering among pointers. As a result,
+when unordered containers like sets and maps are used with pointer keys
+the iteration order is undefined. Hence, iterating such containers may
+result in non-deterministic code generation. While the generated code
+might not necessarily be "wrong code", this non-determinism might result
+in unexpected runtime crashes or simply hard to reproduce bugs on the
+customer side making it harder to debug and fix.
+
+As a rule of thumb, in case an ordered result is expected, remember to
+sort an unordered container before iteration. Or use an ordered
+container like vector if you want to iterate pointer keys.
