That's a good point.  When I was cloning the representation-independent
routines in isets-impl from sets-impl, I had to go back and fix
`integer-set!` to just `set!`.

"Dset" does not work for me, because having distinct elements is part
of the definition of a set; it is not distinguishing enough.  However,
"gset" is possible.  What do other people think?
