What makes you believe that a language must provide literal syntax for EACH and EVERY type? And BTW, if you don't already know, this is how you notate an empty set in Python: py> set([]) set([]) IMO "Set Types" should only exists as a concequence of "freezing" an array, and should have NO literal syntax avaiable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
