I need/want the `replace' functionality and the Set class
doesn't implement it.  Actually, what I want is "IF member
exists THEN replace ELSE insert" functionality.  I thought
for sure this was implemented by one (or more) of the
collections but I can't seem to find it.  Maybe I've missed
something?

BTW, I've been poking around in the collection lib source
and I still don't see how/where duplicates are "caught".
However, I don't want to start a flood of "How'd y'all
implement this?" questions.  If it works, it works. =:-)
(I do find looking at the Swarm source a good way to pick up
objC tips, though.)

Thanks,

Ken.
