(** Sets over ordered types.
This module implements the set data structure, given a total ordering
function over the set elements. All operations over sets
are purely applicative (no side-effects).
The implementation uses balanced binary trees, and is therefore
reasonably efficient: insertion and membership take time
logarithmic in the size of the set, for instance.

module type OrderedType = sig type t val compare : t -> t -> int end
(** The input signature of the functor {!Set.Make}.
[t] is the type of the set elements.
[compare] is a total ordering function over the set elements.
This is a two-argument function [f] such that
[f e1 e2] is zero if the elements [e1] and [e2] are equal,
[f e1 e2] is strictly negative if [e1] is smaller than [e2],
and [f e1 e2] is strictly positive if [e1] is greater than [e2].
Example: a suitable ordering function is
the generic structural comparison function {!Pervasives.compare}. *)
