Description
HashSet has all kinds of useful set functionality, but these functions are incompatible with HashMap keys:
- difference
- symmetric_difference
- intersection
- union
- is_disjoint
- is_subset
- is_superset
It would be nice to enable the use of these functions between HashMaps and HashSets, either by allowing semi-cheap conversions from HashMap.keys to HashSet or by enabling those functions to take either maps or sets.

Research direction
Review the listed HashSet operations alongside HashMap.keys and the proposed conversion or shared-operation approaches. Done means the listed set operations have an agreed API for use between HashMaps and HashSets, with coverage for the supported combinations.
