Re: multiset ordering

Could you please write this line?...

Sorry, I may not have been specific enough in my previous reply. This
was the line:

| multiSet |

multiSet := Bag new.

Well, perhaps it's two lines. The first line is the declaration of a
temporary variable. The second line assigns a new Bag to the
temporary variable. The Bag type seems to correspond to his
definition of a multiset. It allows duplicates. It is implemented
internally as a hash. There are also Sets available, Dictionaries,
Linked Lists, Arrays - whatever you want. And all the functions
necessary to manipulate them. Why doesn't every language have such
tools available?
