Hash tables aren't Sets, nor the other way around. I'd like to avoid messing up data structure definitions any more than they already are.

The only compelling reason for bringing Set into core would be a literal syntax � and I agree, as a data structure it would be a useful addition and encourage its usage � but I don't really have anything to contribute to the particular bikeshed of syntax thereof.
