With regards to Sets missing from the language:

Sure, but even if it is simple, there should be some standardized
way to do this. To not force the people to invent the set
interface in every project again and again. And newcomers will
look for it in the standard docs, and not in ancient manuscripts.
I mean it isn't obvious that one should use void[0][T]...
I'm not sure about any special syntax which is expected for
languages which have built-in sets. It would probably be
overkill to add syntax support, but I'm not sure how often
people use set literals or not.
E.g. Python has build in literals for sets. C++ has sets in
standard library. I see the points against adding something like
this to the core of language, but it should be at least in the
standard library.
