In cppcontainers: 'C++' Standard Template Library Containers

#' Create set
#' 
#' Create a set. Sets are containers of unique, sorted elements.
#' 
#' @param x An integer, numeric, character, or logical vector.
#' 
#' @details Sets are associative containers. They do not provide random access through an index. I.e., \code{s[2]} does not return the second element.
#' 
#' C++ set methods implemented in this package are \link{clear}, \link{contains}, \link{count}, \link{emplace}, \link{empty}, \link{erase}, \link{insert}, 
#' \link{max_size}, \link{merge}, and \link{size}. The package also adds the \link{==} operator and various helper functions (\link{print}, \link{to_r}, 
#' \link{type}).
#' 
#' All object-creating methods in this package begin with \code{cpp_} to avoid clashes with functions from other packages, such as \code{utils::stack} and 
#' \code{base::vector}.
#' 
#' @returns Returns a CppSet object referencing a set in C++.
#' 
#' @seealso \link{cpp_unordered_set}, \link{cpp_multiset}, \link{cpp_unordered_multiset}.
