Description

stout provides a Set type which wraps a std::set. As only addition it provides new constructors,

Set(const T& t1);
Set(const T& t1, const T& t2);
Set(const T& t1, const T& t2, const T& t3);
Set(const T& t1, const T& t2, const T& t3, const T& t4);

which simplified creation of a Set from (up to four) known elements.

C++11 brought std::initializer_list which can be used to create a std::set from an arbitrary number of elements, so it appears that it should be possible to retire Set.
