Set literals

How about overloading curly braces for set literals, as in >>> aSet = {1,2,3} - It is the standard mathematic set notation. - There is no ambiguity or backwards compatibility problem. - Sets and dicts are in many respects similar data structures, so why not share the same delimiter ? *ducks*

+1 from me. The other possible meaning for {1,2,3} would be {1:None,2:None,3:None}, but that is usually meant to be a set anyway (done with a dict). So what is this: {1:2, 3, 4 } (apart from "nearly useless") ? hmmm, thinking a bit more about this, it seems you can build a set from a dict's keys
