// contracts given below for any value that will be added to the set.

	// simply reduce the efficiency of operations on the set.

	// equivalent for the sake of set membership. Two values that are

	// returned when enumerating all of the set members.

// elements do not have a defined order) then the resulting iteration order
// is undefined but consistent for a particular version of cty. The exact
// order in that case is not part of the contract and is subject to change
// between versions.
