I don't really care. What's the point in the end? TransformDict is non-trivial to implement, while the so-called "TransformSet" is just a dict with a different API. I don't see a difference. To me TransformDict is just a dict (or two).

I think it's best to hold off a TransformSet, since you can trivially emulate it by setting the values in a TransformDict to None (that's how Python itself lived without a set type for so long: people just used dicts with all the values set to None).

Cheers, Nick.
