Symmetric difference for Set and IntSet

Hi all,
I propose to add a new combining function to `Data.Set` and `Data.IntSet` with the following semantics (but better implementation):
symmetricDifference :: Set a -> Set a -> Set a
symmetricDifference x y = (x \\ y) <> (y \\ x)
The context is that Federico (CC'ed) is working on a GSoC project about faster factorisation algorithms in `arithmoi` (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/arithmoi), and the symmetric difference is a basic building block for sparse linear algebra over GF(2) field.
Best regards,
Andrew
