[MLton-user] Order of Vector.tabulate

[Henry Cejtin]

The official SML Basis Library says that
    Vector.tabulate (n, f)
is equivalent to
    Vector.fromList (List.tabulate (n, f))
and  also  says that List.tabulate creates the list from left to right, so it
certainly looks to me like the result is completely determined.

Subject: [MLton-user] Order of Vector.tabulate

Is it reasonable or not to assume that Vector.tabulate (n, f) will
call f 0, f 1, ..., and then f (n-1)?  For example, if g reads
something from a file and I write Vector.tabulate (n, fn _ => g ())
will I get a vector of somethings from the file in order?  If not,
what should I use instead?
