Re: Representing a set of value pairs?

This type of set constructor should have a final argument which is
a sample of the thing being constructed as in

<set>
  <bvar><ci>i</ci></bvar>
  <bvar><ci>c</ci></bvar>
  <condition>
  <apply><eq/>
    <ci>c</ci>
    <apply><times/>
      <ci>i</ci>
      <cn>2.54</cn>
    </apply>
  </apply>
  </condition>
  <list><ci>i</ci><ci>c</ci></list>
</set>

They should be grouped in some way, for example, using a set,
list or vector.
