A set is a kind of dictionary (without values). And why it can't be resized, is explained by Brandon Rhodes in his excellent talk 'The Mighty Dictionary', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Kc8xzcA68 , starting at 21:24 "Because of resizing, a dictionary (or set) can completely reorder during an otherwise innocent insert".
