I suppose we could include it for completeness, but there isn't a natural recursion on sets the way there is on lists; not even a way to say "remove an arbitrary member of the set and return it". So `set-empty?` isn't really a base case. Still, I'll include it. -- John Cowan cowan@xxxxxxxx http://ccil.org/~cowan And now here I was, in a country where a right to say how the country should be governed was restricted to six persons in each thousand of its population. For the nine hundred and ninety-four to express dissatisfaction with the regnant system and propose to change it, would have made the whole six shudder as one man, it would have been so disloyal, so dishonorable, such putrid black treason. --Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee
