Remarks

SetContainers provide most of the Set operations, and are a wrapper for Set. An important difference is that a SetContainer is mutable, while a Set is immutable. Since SetContainer is a mutable type, equality is determined by equality of object reference. SetContainers do not directly provide LINQ expressions, because transforming a container would result in a new object reference.

To transform the content of a set container using a LINQ query, use Transform, which works on the Set value contained in the SetContainer.

This type is implemented as a wrapper around an instance of the Set. When modified, it actually creates a new instance of Set and updates a reference as if the original Set instance had been changed.

SetContainer replicates the interfaces of Set, but slightly changes the signature.

Most methods returning a collection in Set are of type void, because they modify the receiver instead of returning a new instance.
