The idea of the set code is to save most of the memory in the case that
all you're doing is storing a set of pointers.  We've got some debug
code that also wants to use this in ir_validate.

Whether the set code is important enough to have just for these two
case, I'm not sure.  I wouldn't have imagined that people wrote code
using many of these object types until I encountered minecraft, though
:)
