# This library provides the Set class, which deals with a collection
# of unordered values with no duplicates. It is a hybrid of Array's
# intuitive inter-operation facilities and Hash's fast lookup.
# The method `to_set` is added to Enumerable for convenience.
# Set implements a collection of unordered values with no duplicates.
# This is a hybrid of Array's intuitive inter-operation facilities and
# Set is easy to use with Enumerable objects (implementing `each`).
# Most of the initializer methods and binary operators accept generic
# Enumerable objects besides sets and arrays. An Enumerable object
# can be converted to Set using the `to_set` method.
# Set uses Hash as storage, so you must note the following points:
# * Equality of elements is determined according to Object#eql? and
# Object#hash. Use Set#compare_by_identity to make a set compare
# its elements by their identity.
# * Set assumes that the identity of each element does not change
# while it is stored. Modifying an element of a set will render the
# set to an unreliable state.
# * When a string is to be stored, a frozen copy of the string is
# stored instead unless the original string is already frozen.
# The comparison operators `<`, `>`, `<=`, and `>=` are implemented as
# shorthand for the {proper_,}{subset?,superset?} methods. The `<=>`
# operator reflects this order, or return `nil` for sets that both
# have distinct elements (`{x, y}` vs. `{x, z}` for example).
# s1 = Set[1, 2] #=> #<Set: {1, 2}>
# s2 = [1, 2].to_set #=> #<Set: {1, 2}>
# s1.add("foo") #=> #<Set: {1, 2, "foo"}>
# s1.merge([2, 6]) #=> #<Set: {1, 2, "foo", 6}>
# s1.subset?(s2) #=> false
# s2.subset?(s1) #=> true

# First, what's elsewhere. \Class \Set:
# - Inherits from {class Object}[https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Object.html#class-Object-label-What-27s+Here].
# - Includes {module Enumerable}[https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Enumerable.html#module-Enumerable-label-What-27s+Here],
# which provides dozens of additional methods.
# In particular, class \Set does not have many methods of its own
# for fetching or for iterating.
# Instead, it relies on those in \Enumerable.
# Here, class \Set provides methods that are useful for:
# - [Creating a Set](#class-Set-label-Methods+for+Creating+a+Set)
# - [Set Operations](#class-Set-label-Methods+for+Set+Operations)
# - [Comparing](#class-Set-label-Methods+for+Comparing)
# - [Querying](#class-Set-label-Methods+for+Querying)
# - [Assigning](#class-Set-label-Methods+for+Assigning)
# - [Deleting](#class-Set-label-Methods+for+Deleting)
# - [Converting](#class-Set-label-Methods+for+Converting)
# - [Iterating](#class-Set-label-Methods+for+Iterating)
# - [And more....](#class-Set-label-Other+Methods)
# ### Methods for Creating a \Set
# Returns a new set containing the given objects.
# Returns a new set containing either the given objects
# (if no block given) or the return values from the called block
# ### Methods for \Set Operations
# - [|](#method-i-7C) (aliased as #union and #+) -
# Returns a new set containing all elements from +self+
# and all elements from a given enumerable (no duplicates).
# - [&](#method-i-26) (aliased as #intersection) -
# Returns a new set containing all elements common to +self+
# and a given enumerable.
# - [-](#method-i-2D) (aliased as #difference) -
# Returns a copy of +self+ with all elements
# in a given enumerable removed.
# Returns a new set containing all elements from +self+
# and a given enumerable except those common to both.
# ### Methods for Comparing
# - [<=>](#method-i-3C-3D-3E) -
# Returns -1, 0, or 1 as +self+ is less than, equal to,
# or greater than a given object.
# - [==](#method-i-3D-3D) -
# Returns whether +self+ and a given enumerable are equal,
# as determined by Object#eql?.
# - \#compare_by_identity? -
# Returns whether the set considers only identity
# when comparing elements.
# ### Methods for Querying
# - \#length (aliased as #size) -
# Returns the count of elements.
# Returns whether the set has no elements.
# - \#include? (aliased as #member? and #===) -
# Returns whether a given object is an element in the set.
# - \#subset? (aliased as [<=](#method-i-3C-3D)) -
# Returns whether a given object is a subset of the set.
# - \#proper_subset? (aliased as [<](#method-i-3C)) -
# Returns whether a given enumerable is a proper subset of the set.
# - \#superset? (aliased as [<=](#method-i-3E-3D])) -
# Returns whether a given enumerable is a superset of the set.
# - \#proper_superset? (aliased as [>](#method-i-3E)) -
# Returns whether a given enumerable is a proper superset of the set.
# Returns +true+ if the set and a given enumerable
# have no common elements, +false+ otherwise.
# Returns +true+ if the set and a given enumerable -
# have any common elements, +false+ otherwise.
# - \#compare_by_identity? -
# Returns whether the set considers only identity
# when comparing elements.
# ### Methods for Assigning
# - \#add (aliased as #<<) -
# Adds a given object to the set; returns +self+.
# If the given object is not an element in the set,
# adds it and returns +self+; otherwise, returns +nil+.
# Adds each given object to the set; returns +self+.
# Replaces the contents of the set with the contents
# ### Methods for Deleting
# Removes all elements in the set; returns +self+.
# Removes a given object from the set; returns +self+.
# If the given object is an element in the set,
# removes it and returns +self+; otherwise, returns +nil+.
# Removes each given object from the set; returns +self+.
# - \#delete_if - Removes elements specified by a given block.
# - \#select! (aliased as #filter!) -
# Removes elements not specified by a given block.
# Removes elements not specified by a given block.
# Removes elements specified by a given block.
# ### Methods for Converting
# Returns a hash that classifies the elements,
# as determined by the given block.
# - \#collect! (aliased as #map!) -
# Replaces each element with a block return-value.
# Returns a hash that classifies the elements,
# as determined by the given block;
# differs from #classify in that the block may accept
# either one or two arguments.
# Returns a new set that is a recursive flattening of +self+.
# Replaces each nested set in +self+ with the elements from that set.
# - \#inspect (aliased as #to_s) -
# Returns a string displaying the elements.
# Returns a string containing all elements, converted to strings
# as needed, and joined by the given record separator.
# Returns an array containing all set elements.
# Returns +self+ if given no arguments and no block;
# with a block given, returns a new set consisting of block
# ### Methods for Iterating
# Calls the block with each successive element; returns +self+.
# Resets the internal state; useful if an object
# has been modified while an element in the set.
# Creates a new set containing the given objects.
# Set[1, 2] # => #<Set: {1, 2}>

# Creates a new set containing the elements of the given enumerable
# If a block is given, the elements of enum are preprocessed by the
