#' Itemwise Set Operations
#'
#' Provides the generic functions and the methods for itemwise set
#' operations on items in an [itemMatrix]. The regular set operations regard each
#' itemset in an `itemMatrix` as an element. Itemwise operations regard each item
#' as an element and operate on the items of pairs of corresponding itemsets
#' (first itemset in `x` with first itemset in `y`, second with second, etc.).
#'
#' @name itemwiseSetOps

#' @family itemMatrix and transactions Functions
#'
#' @param x,y two [itemMatrix] objects with the same number of rows (itemsets).
#' @return An object of class [itemMatrix] is returned.
