Also kinda surprising that doesn't have built in `set` types? I get that you can "use a map like a set" but it feels super janky and lacks any of the APIs one would hope a set to have. 😅

@mauve What I noticed in Python, which has sets not just in stdlib but right in built-ins, is that many people don't know them enough and almost never utilize. When I use sets, they often ask on review "sets can do that? O.o" I've even seen beginners' books that don't cover sets at all. I wish people would appreciate sets more.
