yeah... the problem is differentiating the empty set from an empty dict. The only alternative that occured to me was the not-so-nice and not-backwards-compatible "{:}" for an empty dict and "{}" for an empty set.
How about spelling the empty set as ``set()''? Wouldn't that solve the ambiguity and the backwards compatibility nicely?
