How often do folks need a frozen set literal? I don’t think I’ve ever used one.
You won't have used one because they have not yet existed (hence this thread).
di you really notunderstand my point?
I have never used the frozenset() with a literal. i.e. never had a use case for a frozenset literal.
As I mentioned in another note, I do use set displays where they *could* be frozen sets, but I dont think they've ever needed to be. And if there isn't a performance advantage, then I'm fine with that.

Ah yes, I think my brain blipped because there have been multiple proposals on this list for such a thing -- but they were never realized.
>>> squares = f{x**2 for x in range(10)}
Interesting idea. It feels a bit like that's realyl opening a door to a lot if proposals -- is that good or bad thing?
