By that definition arn't all sets subsets? Anyway I didn't see any confusion with "to set" at all. subset confused me quite a bit though. Besides it might not be a sub set at all.
set types <full half quarter jumbo automatic>; You could call that a subset of words, but i think this has extra clarity over: subset types <full half quarter jumbo automatic>; First thing i think when seeing that is...subset of what? where is the larger set defined? Of course I have no knowledge of set theory at all, just a humble programming giving his input.
