Set
Combined from primary sources listed below.

In role Baggy§

See primary documentation in context for method Set 

method Set(--> Set:D)

Returns a Set whose elements are the keys of the invocant.

my $breakfast = (eggs => 2, bacon => 3).BagHash;
say $breakfast.Set;                               # OUTPUT: «Set(bacon eggs)␤»

In List§

See primary documentation in context for method Set

In general, creates a set which has as members elements of the list.

say <æ ß þ €>.Set;  # OUTPUT: «Set(ß æ þ €)␤»

However, there might be some unexpected changes in case the list includes non-scalar data structures. For instance, with Pairs:

my @a = (:42a, :33b);
say @a;                # OUTPUT: «[a => 42 b => 33]␤»
say @a.Set;            # OUTPUT: «Set(a b)␤»

The set will be composed of the keys of the Pair whose corresponding value is not 0, eliminating all the values. Please check the Set documentation for more examples and a more thorough explanation.

In Any§

See primary documentation in context for method Set 

method Set(--> Set:D) is nodal

Coerces the invocant to Set, whereby Positionals are treated as lists of values.
