Summary: inconsistency in help(set)

Initial Comment:
>>> help(set)

Help on class set in module __builtin__:

class set(object)
 |  set(iterable) --> set object
 |
 |  Build an unordered collection.
 |
 |  Methods defined here:
 |      ...


It would be better for docstring to be """Build an
unordered collection with no duplicate elements.""" 
instead of """Build an unordered collection."""

Thanks for your suggestion; I've added 'unordered collection
of unique elements' in rev. 50934.
