Comment:
OK, this patch implements a Set class with an added advantage that on 102626-patched interpreter it has a method called .element() which returns some element of the set.

Short summary:

* supports boolean operators, substraction
* supports iteration semi-efficiently
* supports checking for containment semi-efficiently
* supports auto-freezing when hash() is called, so can
  be used as key in dictionaries, and so, as an element
  in sets.

Greg Wilson: see if this doesn't solve 95% of the problem
you're trying to solve with the Set built-in type PEP.
