A type providing sets of small integers is quite remote from "a 
full-blown set abstract data type"; the confusion can be traced to the
Pascal influence. If you want to see a language with "a full-blown set
abstract data type", look a SETL, whic I understand was the original 
implimentation language for GNAT.
