19.2.3 Sets Are Wonderful

Simple set theory is a remarkably expressive tool. Section 16.2 already made this point, but our treatment of dependency parsing really brings the point home: we use sets for everything! Furthermore, since Oz supports sets and constraints on sets, using them as part of the formulation immediately lends it efficient computational content.
