/*** Set An unordered collection of unique values. Accepts: - optional ``values`` (may be ``undefined``, or any iterable object, by way of the polymorphic `toIter`) - optional custom ``hash`` relation. - optional custom ``eq`` binary equivalence relation. Inherits member functions from `Iterable`. `Set` operations operate in constant time best case, and linear for degenerate cases. If you insert an object in a set and modify that object in such a way that its ``hash`` result changes, it will be irrecoverable. Most other libraries enforce that only immutable objects should be inserted in sets for this reason, so be careful. */ /*** insert inserts a value in the `Set`. Position is not relevant.
