In addition, using a tuple or a list in this context:

I think a list in that context is fine, and that's the idiom I see far
more often than a tuple.
Rather that efficiently communicating the programmer's intention, it
would raise in my mind the question "that's strange, why are they
using a set there instead of a tuple?".
The fact that literal set syntax is a relative newcomer is the primary
reason for that, I'd wager.
Well, no. It really is more, "that's odd... why use set?"
