[Bro-Dev] set and vector operators

I'm fine with removing "add" and "delete" for sets!  (But seems we gotta
keep them for a good while for backward compatibility.  Plus, what would
be the remove operator for tables?  "t -= index" seems pretty weird to me.)

But I don't think we should forego '+' and '-' for sets.  It would be too
weird that "v += e" works but "s += e" does not (and "add v[e]" blows, so
let's not consider going down that path :-P).  Once we have s += e, we
certainly should have s -= e.  And once we have "s + e", "s1 + s2" seems
very natural to me too; I don't relish having to explain "oh *that* doesn't
work, you have to use s1 | s2" :-P.

Seems to me they're both sufficiently mnemonic that this isn't a big worry.
