regarding Scala types

Had a discussion yesterday. Basically, about this equality:

scala> "abc": Iterable[Char]
val res0: Iterable[Char] = abc

scala> List('a', 'b', 'c'): Iterable[Char]
val res1: Iterable[Char] = List(a, b, c)

scala> res0 == res1                                                                                                        
val res2: Boolean = true

No surprise, just making sure that it behaves as expected. Two projections are equal.
