Subject: [Jsonpath] Issue 60: Determinism

I think the summary so far is

* We recognize that there are operations in JSONPath whose result is ordered but that order needs to be created based on unordered input.
* We are not going to cut off these noses to spite our face.
* We have a choice between imposing a language-defined order (e.g., sorting) or leaving the result non-deterministic.

I gather that there is a general direction toward non-determinism, as imposing an order would be too expensive, but I'm not sure we have a conclusion here.
