Of course, you can have your cake and eat it too in the present case:
rename the current Set into OrderedSet (for instance) and then create
a Set module (now that the other one disappeared) as a wrapper around
OrderedSet.

Donc, en gros, au lieu de définir Set et OrderedSet indépendemment,, il suffit
de définir Set au-dessus de OrderedSet et comme ça on peut avoir le beurre et
l'argent du beurre: une interface propre et une bonne réutilisation du code.
