[issue7212] Retrieve an arbitrary element from a set without removing it

I still see a use in this. I like to use sets for lists of servers or mirrors. There is no compelling reason *not* to add a get() or pick() method, as described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28computer_science%29. Sets could be used for many things that lists are currently used for. I request for this to be reopened given the lapse since any action on this.
