New submission from Arnaud Delobelle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The patch allows the following syntax for s set/frozenset: * s.union(a, b, c,...) * s.update(a, b, c,...) * s.intersection(a, b, c,...) * s.intersection_update(a, b, c,...)
By extension: * set.union(a, b, c,...) # provided a is a set/frozenset * ... Union is extended by iterative application of set_union_internal Intersection is optimized by sorting all sets/frozensets/dicts in increasing order of size and only iterating over elements in the smallest.
