More about ADTs

Question. Assume there is a insert lfun. But the map insert need two arguments, key and value, but the set only need one argument, value, will this be alot of special case handling?

Yes. Some sort of global function corresponding to m_delete for the insert operation will also be necessary for the new multisets. To be consistent it should then be called m_insert, but I don't particularly like the "m_" prefix in this case either. (As it happens, it works for multisets too, but the operation is really more fundamental than that.)

Perhaps we can come up with a new operator syntax instead?
