>By the way, Daryl, "&=" is not the same as append().
True enough. eg:
s1 = {'a', 'b'}
s1 = append(s1, "c")
--s1 would now be {'a', 'b', {'c'}}
s1 &= "d"
--s1 would now be {'a', 'b', {'c'}, 'd'}
If you were appending an atom, however, you might as well use &=. eg:
s1 &= 'a'
is the same as:
s1 &= "a"
I was aware that & and append() are different, but I suggested it because
quite often I append an atom onto the end of a sequence, and then you can
use the shorthand &=.
