I'm +1 on set literals, but -1 on {/} for the empty set. I much prefer
set() -- {/} seems too Perlesque and magical-looking. I don't think we
have three subsequent punctuation marks as an atom anywhere else in
Python, do we? (Except for """, but those are three of the same, so it
doesn't look that strange to me.)
