I like to have Sets builtin in the language. I like to have set literals. But i don't think necesary to build them internally as *special* objects, other than the ones included in .NET library. Well not really, but i fell in a problem. I have a set of Tuple<of int, int>, but Set havent got any constructor passing the comparator of elements, like the one in .NET.
Possible solutions are

Why Set is not implemented as HashSet in .NET library?

Because there was no HashSet in .NET 2.0 and Cobra is still targeting that. I'll look into .NET 3.0 & 3.5 support after the upcoming release (was already planning on it). In the mean time, the quickest fix is probably for me to add that initializer. I'll take a look.

Set<of T> now has the following initializers:

class Set<of T> ...
    cue init
    cue init(capacity as int)
    cue init(items as IEnumerable<of T>)
    cue init(comparer as IEqualityComparer<of T>)
    cue init(items as IEnumerable<of T>?, comparer as IEqualityComparer<of T>?)
    cue init(capacity as int, items as IEnumerable<of T>?, comparer as IEqualityComparer<of T>?)

I didn't have time for extensive testing, although the Set unit tests and Cobra regression tests all pass. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thx very much, i'm recently introduced to .net, that's why i didn't know HashSets are in last versions
