Perhaps this has something to due with uniqueness. A list can have many
duplicate elements while a set is supposed to be unique.

Hi,
Is there a good reason that Data.Set uses the name member while
Data.List (or the Prelude) uses the name elem, for what to me seem
identical concepts. I realise that in Set's the traditional test is
for membership, but it seems awfully arbitrary that one jumped one
way and one jumped the other. I've just written an entire module's
worth of Haskell with Set.elem, as that felt right, now I'm going
back and fixing it.
Thanks
Neil
