Comment(by sacundim):

 tibbe, thanks for your feedback.

 To tell you the truth, all I did was get the source for Data.Map in
 containers-0.4.0, copypaste the existing Data.Map functions to Data.Set,
 and edit them to work—which mostly just involved editing type signatures
 and removing the "value" element from the pattern matches and
 constructors.  So as far as I can tell, your objections also apply to the
 0.4.0 version of Data.Map.

 I've just installed darcs and gotten the containers repository, and this
 has a different version of these Data.Map functions, presumably newer and
 better.  I'm in the process of recreating the patch based on that, and
 that's what I will submit to the libraries list.

 I will add that I have a very limited goal here: duplicate the Data.Map
 implementations for Data.Set, and make the Set versions '''no worse'''
 than the original Map versions.  So to be frank, for my purposes, any
 suggested improvements that also apply to Data.Map are beyond my scope
 (and, sadly, most likely also beyond my Haskell skills at this point).
