In response to questions about why the convention of putting the data structure as the last argument... This style supports multiple operations nicely, especially with combined with the $ operator. For example, to insert 3 elements into a set, you can say insert 1 $ insert 2 $ insert 3 $ someSet (the last $ is optional). With the other argument ordering, you would say insert (insert (insert someSet 3) 2) 1 -- Chris
