Summary: Operations between sets

Initial Comment:
The documentation for the new Set types does not say 
anything about applying a binary operation between two 
sets of different type (i.e. one is a frozenset, the other 
is a normal set).

I suppose the result is always a nromal set, but this 
should be documented.

The result matches the type of the left-hand operand:

   set & frozenset --> set
   frozenset & set --> frozenset
