That's precisely where you want to use `set-replace!`:
(set-replace! set new-pair new-pair)
will remove any existing pair that is equal to new-pair in the sense
of the comparator (presumably one created with `make-car-comparator`),
and replaces it with new-pair; or if there is no such pair, adjoins
new-pair to the set. It's tailor-made for your application.
