Expand the Considerations for the difference() step in gremlin-semantics.asciidoc with language-agnostic behavioral detail. The result is a SET whose iteration order is unspecified and does not preserve the incoming list order, and A-B is directional rather than order-preserving. Membership compares members by both value and type, so numerically equal values of different types are distinct, and a null is a legal list element while a null or non-iterable whole traverser or argument raises an error. It also notes that a traversal supplied as the argument produces the comparison list as a single result. Assisted-by: Kiro:claude-opus-4.8
