- A @deftech{set} represents a set of distinct elements. For a given
- set, elements are equivalent via @racket[equal?], @racket[eqv?], or
- @racket[eq?]. Two sets are @racket[equal?] when they use the same
- element-comparison procedure (@racket[equal?], @racket[eqv?], or
- @racket[eq?]) and have equivalent elements.
- A set can be used as a single-valued sequence (see
- @secref["sequences"]). The elements of the set serve as elements
- of the sequence. See also @racket[in-set].
- Operations on sets that contain elements that are mutated are
- unpredictable in much the same way that @tech{hash table} operations are
- unpredictable when keys are mutated.

- Creates a set that uses @racket[equal?], @racket[eq?], or

- that they appear as @racket[v]s, so in the first two cases, an earlier
- element that is @racket[equal?] or @racket[eqv?] but not @racket[eq?]
- to a later element takes precedence over the later element.}

- proportional to the total size of all given @racket[st]s except for
- the largest.
- At least one set must be provided to @racket[set-union] even though
- mathematically @racket[set-union] could accept zero arguments. Since
- there are multiple types of sets (@racket[eq?], @racket[eqv?], and
- @racket[equal?]) there is no obvious choice for a default empty set
- to be returned. If there is a case where @racket[set-union] may be
- applied to zero arguments, instead pass an empty set of the type
- you desire.
