I get what you mean, but let me point out that "iterable" does not appear
in the index of either the Language Reference or Library Reference, nor do
I see it in the introduction.  Actually, the introduction would really
benefit from a description of all the conventions used in the manual.  As
it stands, one has to come across this usage several times to realize it's
a convention (and that's not the way many people use reference manuals).

What would be really cool, and probably easy, is to just make sure that
every occurrence of "iterable" is a link to a page that describes that
well-defined interface.

This is still beyond the scope of the question about the Set documentation.
I appreciate the responses, but I'm not sure whether this is the right time
to continue this sort of discussion.
