No, they did not - not with values:

>>> from dsets import *
>>> s =	DSet({1: 'one',	2: 'two'})
>>> s.intersection([1, 5], collision=first)
DSet({1: 'one'})
>>> s.union_update({2:	'TWO', 3: 'THREE'}, collision=second)
>>> s
DSet({1: 'one', 2: 'TWO', 3: 'THREE'})
>>> s.intersection({1: 'one', 2: 'QuuX', 3: 'three'}, collision=str.__eq__)
DSet({1: True, 2: False, 3: False})

How do you do this with sets?  The keys will behave the same with sets
but the values won't be tracked.
