Define "builtin". It was pointed out recently how one could derive a
"Set" class from a Disjunction type, implementing the few things that Sets
can do that Disjunctions can't. Put this in a module, and a simple "use
Set" at the start of your script is all that would be needed to have full
Set functionality.
