Is there any reason the following script should not work?

```ruby
#! /usr/bin/ruby

require 'set'

class Categories < Set

  def initialize(categories=[])
    categories.collect! { |category| category } if categories
    super categories
  end

end

categories = Categories.new()
categories += [1, 2, 3]
p categories

categories2 = Categories.new(categories)
p categories2
```

It fails with ```stack level too deep (SystemStackError)``` error and this regression seems to be introduced by r52591.
