The key thing here is patience. You started this thread on the 20th,
it's now the morning of the 24th and the first time I've had to really
look at the set issue.
I'm all for optimizing for size here, however, the fact that these
functions happen to work when the second argument is not a set is an
implementation artifact and not a promise of the interface, so I'm not
in favor of the set? testing or any other accommodation of that.
An issue w/patch for this would be welcome.
Thanks,
Rich
