Patricia sets seem to be what you are looking for.
 (1). Efficient usual operations (lookup, insertion, union)
 (2). Structural equality

Their only problem is that they cannot handle polymorphic orderable
types but only integers...

Hash the data, use this key to insert it in a patricia map and solve
the collisions by chaining in an ordered list (with the polymorphic
[compare] function). (1) and (2) still hold under usual hypothesis on
the rate of collisions.

A few changes to JCF's implementation should be enough.
