// SYNOPSIS
//
	template< class T > class my_set : public std::set< T >
//
// DESCRIPTION
//
//	A my_set is-a set but with the addition of a contains() member
//	function, one that returns a simpler bool result indicating whether a
//	given element is in the set.  (This is called a lot and I hate lots of
//	typing.)

// SYNOPSIS
//
	template<> class my_set< char const* > : public std::set< char const* >
//
// DESCRIPTION
//
//	Specialize my_set for C-stle strings so as not to have a reference
//	(implemented as a pointer) to a char const*.
