Currently:
l = [] # new empty list
t = () # new empty tuple
s = set() # new empty set (no clean and consistent way of initializing regarding the others) <<<
d = {} # new empty dictionary
Possible solution:
s = {} # new empty set
d = {:} # new empty dictionary (the ":" is a reference to key-value pairs)
Current workaround at least for consistency:
l = list() # new empty list
t = tuple() # new empty tuple
s = set() # new empty set
d = dict() # new empty dictionary
However, it doesn't feel right to not be able to initialize an empty set as cleanly and consistently as lists, tuples and dictionaries in both forms.
