Paint it what you like. Just not `lookup` :-).

`lookupEntry` seems fine to me...
\begin{bikeshedding} but it bugs me a little that (according to the API) Sets have "members" (`member`, `notMember`, and `splitMember`) and "elems" (`elems`, `elemAt`), but (at least as of yet) no "entries". (In my brief scan of the docs, it appears "element" is the preferred English for "thing that can be in a Set"). Andreas' suggestion applies the name to Map as well, so I buy that "entry" is actually a new notion distinct from "element" or "member"---but if a user isn't expected to have that notion in mind when seeking this functionality, it seems mildly disadvantageous to introduce a new word for "thing that can be in a Set" to the API. \end{bikeshedding}
"I love bikesheds! Don't you!?" :)
I can only agree that it's a little incongrouous... but I'll defer to maintainer's privilege in the interest of getting things done :).
