[Chris Bergstresser] Still, I think my
point stands--it's a clear extrapolation from the existing dict.get().
Not really. One looks-up a key and supplies a default value if not found. The other, set.get(), doesn't have a key to lookup. A dict.get() can be meaningfully used in a loop (because the key can vary). A set.get() returns the same value over and over again (because there is no key).
