It appears to be possible to convert an array of integers to an IntSet, 
using for example a function of the form IntSet(IntegerArrayName), but it 
does not appear possible to back-convert, using a function of the form 
int(IntSetName) or convert(Array{Int64,1},IntSetName)  

The back-conversion would be useful for doing non-set theoretical 
mathematical functions, such as taking the median or mode.   

Of course it is not terribly hard to preallocate a vector of Integers and 
extract out the elements, but this starts to become (to my R and MATLAB 
trained sensibilities) a bit of a nuisance when e.g. dealing with arrays of 
IntSets in a more complicated algorithm.

Would it be possible to add such a back conversion to the base package?
