Better than 'restrict': a 'filter' method (as proposed by Tab Atkins Jr. below)
similar to the one we have on Arrays. For the intersection of two Sets, we can
write:
mySet1.filter(x => mySet2.has(x))
This pattern has the advantage to be readily applicable to Maps and other
collections with a clear semantic.
