[racket-dev] An Improvement to for/set

I've noticed myself desiring a for/set that would allow me to
optionally add zero, one, or more elements to the accumulated set
during each iteration. Is this something that other people would be
interested in having in the set library? If so, I can send a pull
request to the github repo.

My implementation should be backwards compatible with the old one. I
also created set-add* because I found myself wanting to add arbitrary
numbers of elements to sets as well.

;; set-add* : [Set X] X ... -> [Set X]
(define (set-add* s . vs)
  (for/fold ((s s)) ((v vs))
    (set-add s v)))

(define-syntax (for/set stx)
  (syntax-case stx ()
    [(_ clauses . body)
     #'(for/fold/derived stx ((accum-set (set))) clauses
                         (call-with-values (lambda () . body)
                           (curry set-add* accum-set)))]))

Examples:

> (for/set ((x '(1 2 3 4 5)))
  (sqr x))
(set 1 4 9 16 25)

> (for/set ((x '(1 2 3 4 5)))
    (if (odd? x) x (values)))
(set 1 3 5)
