I don't understand this last line, even given the context of the preceding
three. Why is it none of 2, rather than none of something else?

Should, of course be:

           !$x          # set(none(1..3))    ;-)

PS: This is also a demonstration of the awesome power of junctions: that we
    can specify the complement of a set without knowing its universal set!
