I would like to still leave us at 2.5 compatible.
The internal comments promise that spec updates
will be treated as bug fixes.  This is all the
more likely if 2.7 is the last, but long lived
version in the 2.x series.

Besides, I don't think the set comprehension
notation was a big win in readability over
what is there now :-)
