Research direction

Start with the package's existing Data.Set and other data-structure documentation, using the linked Data.HashMap docs as the comparison point. Record each structure's purpose and stated properties, including uniqueness for Data.Set. The work is done when the package documentation explains these points consistently.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

good first issue type: documentation

As an example of another module Data.HashMap it says

Note that this is an unordered collection.

https://pursuit.purescript.org/packages/purescript-unordered-collections/1.0.1/docs/Data.HashMap

Such information would also be useful for the data structures in this package


About Data.Set i would guess that it has a uniqueness property because

All the elements in a set are unique.

http://learnyouahaskell.com/modules and because of the similarities between haskell and purescript

But the documentation of purescript's Data.Set doesn't specify this.

Can some information be added to the data structures in the package what they are for and which properties they offer?
