I thought one of the main arguments in favor of set literals is that a literal form would allow the compiler to perform optimisations that the set(...) spelling doesn't allow.
Let me clear up this misunderstanding. Optimizations have nothing to do with it (they would be invalid anyway since sets are mutable). It's a matter of writing more readable code.
