Actually I would suggest NOT adding Perl6, because the best way to
create a Set is not to use “list comprehension”, but to just call
`.Set`
That whole page is about Set Builder Notation, but Perl6 doesn't
actually have such a thing.
You create a Set through a method call, or a subroutine call.
That is true even in the translations I did.
The closest one is where I added a circumfix operator.
my sub circumfix:«{ }» ( \L ) { L.Set };
I mean this:
Set.new: gather { for L { take $_ } };
can be simplified to:
Set.new( L );
Or if you're being pedantic:
Set.new( L.Seq );
