scala.collection.Set

object Set extends SetFactory[Set]

This object provides a set of operations needed to create Set values. The current default implementation of a Set is one of EmptySet , Set1 , Set2 , Set3 , Set4 in class immutable.Set for sets of sizes up to 4, and a immutable.HashSet for sets of larger sizes.
