I don't recall saying this. The only aspect that I was almost okay
with changing was whether set displays (and by implication set
comprehensions; "literals" is really the wrong term given the example
{a, b}) could be changed to frozenset.

The more I think about it the less I like that alternative though. So
I think you're wasting your time (and mine :).
