// Template Class: set (a container template class for a collection
//                of items with NO duplicates)
//
// VALUE SEMANTICS for the set class:
//    Assignments and the copy constructor may be used 
//       with set objects.
//
// DYNAMIC MEMORY USAGE by the set:
//    If there is insufficient dynamic memory, then the
//       following functions throw bad_alloc:
//          The constructors, reserve, insert, operator +=,
//          operator +, and the assignment operator.
