Actually, I'm realizing that I should have realized before with the
radset interface of various OSes that it may be better to just have a
hwloc_set_t type, and hwloc_cpuset_t/hwloc_nodeset_t types typedefed to
it, and tell people to use hwloc_set_* functions with both (but keep
#defines for hwloc_cpuset_* API compatibility for some time).

This is done.

Sure.
