<!-- Generated with Stardoc: http://skydoc.bazel.build -->

Skylib module containing common hash-set algorithms.

  An empty set can be created using: `sets.make()`, or it can be created with some starting values
  if you pass it an sequence: `sets.make([1, 2, 3])`. This returns a struct containing all of the
  values as keys in a dictionary - this means that all passed in values must be hashable.  The
  values in the set can be retrieved using `sets.to_list(my_set)`.

  An arbitrary object can be tested whether it is a set generated by `sets.make()` or not with the
  `types.is_set()` method in types.bzl.
