Description

Perhaps this is impossible to fix at the moment, but I ran into many many headaches before realizing that there is not a one-to-one mapping between s.set('year') and the set year in a GAMS gdx file. Moreover, the set year in a MESSAGE GDX file is not consistent with the set year in a MACRO GDX file. It would be nice to harmonize these..

Research direction

Compare how s.set('year') maps to the year set in GAMS GDX files, including the differences between MESSAGE and MACRO GDX files. Clarify the intended harmonized behavior and define what consistency across these sets would mean before assessing implementation options.
