Re: I ran across this while working on the spec.

I have (that was what Herve proposed :) ), but I do worry: A set typically
requires two pointers per element, plus the size of the element itself plus
pointer to the index itself.
If we call that 8+8+4 bytes of overhead per entry, we're talking about a
kilobyte of potential overhead. That is noticable.
