That's a good point. When I was cloning the representation-independent routines in isets-impl from sets-impl, I had to go back and fix `integer-set!` to just `set!`. > Is there some other name which might serve instead of "set" in srfi-113? > Two possibilities are "gset" for set with general object membership and > "dset" for set with distinct (non-repeated) elements. "Dset" does not work for me, because having distinct elements is part of the definition of a set; it is not distinguishing enough. However, "gset" is possible.
