Simple example usage case: Insert string into data structure in sorted
order if it doesn't exist, else retrieve it.
the_set = set( ... )
if str in the_set :
... "retrieval" case ...
else :
the_set.add(str)
#end if
Want sorted order?
sorted(tuple(the_set))
What could be simpler?
Try putting that inside a loop with thousands of iterations and you'll
see what the problem is.
