Functionality of "Set"

Description (Last modified by mabshoff)

In the documentation for the function "Set" (Reference Manual 11.8) it would be helpful to explicitly point out that Set allows objects of different types, so 

sage: Set([Sequence(my_seq),3,QQ])
Rational Field, 3, [2, 3]

is perfectly OK.

Also, it would be nice if Set allowed one to use lists, so

Set([[2,3]])

worked, rather than giving the error message TypeError?: list objects are unhashable.
