I work a good deal with Set objects. When I found the sizehint function, I
thought this would be useful to use as the data structure supporting my
sets would be pre-allocated to be large enough for what I anticipated
putting therein. But sizehint doesn't apply to Set objects:
julia> A = Set()
Set{Any}()
julia> sizehint(A,1000)
ERROR: no method sizehint(Set{Any},Int64)
It appears that, under the hood, Set objects are built on top of Dict
objects. So one can do this:
julia> sizehint(A.dict,1000)
Dict{Any,Nothing}()
But if the implementation of Set changes, this breaks.
So I'm voicing all this to request that sizehint(Set) be implemented.
