Well, for my understanding, the binary format is only because of
specific serialization. At logical level it's a sequence of stokes,
circles, points, bitmap blits etc., whatever is possible via QPainter.
Two series can be certainly compared but the question is how to define
identity relation. Two different sequences can result in eqal pictures
(in this case the set of items are equal), and conversely two sets can
be equal but result in different pictures, e.g. because z-order
matters.
