I count this as an advantage. So one can write (1,2,3) (|) (2,2,3,4,4)
to get a result of (1,2,2,3,4,4). As long as the Seq is a Set, that is
it has no duplicates, you get Set behavior through the Bag ops:
(1,2,3) (|) (2,3,4) === (1,2,3,4); (1,2,3) (&) (2,3,4) === (2,3).

BTW, the set/bag operations are not yet mentioned in S03 as new
operators. Here's a list what I think they should be:

  (|) union
  (&) intersection
  (^) symmetric difference
  (/) disjoint union?
  (!) complement, this is difficult because you need the surrounding set
  (-) difference
  (+) join, returns a bag
  (*) cartesian product
 (**) powerset
 (in) membership
(!in) negated membership
  (<) proper subset
  (>) proper superset
 (<=) subset
 (>=) superset
  (=) equality, also with ===
 (!=) inequality, also with !===

Did I forget something?
