[issue22089] collections.MutableSet does not provide update method

[Roy Wellington]

New submission from Roy Wellington:

Inheriting from collections.MutableSet mixes in several methods, however, it does not mix in a .update method. This can cause a variety of confusion if you expect a MutableSet to act like a set. Moreover, MutableMapping does provide a .update method, which makes me think this is a bug.

I've attached a file that creates a bare-bones MutableSet, and shows the difference.

Is this a bug, or is there some reason that MutableSet doesn't provide an update method?
