Dammit.  I can't do anything right this morning.

I'm pretty sure you can get what you want with a combination of  
different things in my Cf library, e.g. Cf_seq, Cf_heap and Cf_set.   
For union: Convert the sets into a heap of element sequences.  Loop  
through the heap to unify into a single element sequence.  Build a  
new set from the unified element sequence.  For difference and  
intersection: I'd have to think about it some more.
