<description>
<p>Sets are collections of elements with no duplicate elements.
The representation of a set is undefined.</p>
<p>This module provides the same interface as the
<seealso marker="ordsets"><c>ordsets(3)</c></seealso> module
but with an undefined representation. One difference is
that while this module considers two elements as different if they
do not match (<c>=:=</c>), <c>ordsets</c> considers two elements as
different if and only if they do not compare equal (<c>==</c>).</p>
