    \class QSet
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QSet class is a template class that provides a hash-table-based set.
    \compares equality
 
    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \reentrant
 
 
    QSet<T> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It stores
    values in an unspecified order and provides very fast lookup of
    the values. Internally, QSet<T> is implemented as a QHash.
 
    Here's an example QSet with QString values:
 
    \snippet code/doc_src_qset.cpp 0
 
    To insert a value into the set, use insert():
 
    \snippet code/doc_src_qset.cpp 1
 
    Another way to insert items into the set is to use \l operator<<():
 
    \snippet code/doc_src_qset.cpp 2
 
    To test whether an item belongs to the set or not, use contains():
 
    \snippet code/doc_src_qset.cpp 3
 
    If you want to navigate through all the values stored in a QSet,
    you can use an iterator. QSet supports both \l{Java-style
    iterators} (QSetIterator and QMutableSetIterator) and \l{STL-style
    iterators} (QSet::iterator and QSet::const_iterator). Here's how
    to iterate over a QSet<QWidget *> using a Java-style iterator:
 
    \snippet code/doc_src_qset.cpp 4
 
    Here's the same code, but using an STL-style iterator:
 
    \snippet code/doc_src_qset.cpp 5
 
    QSet is unordered, so an iterator's sequence cannot be assumed to
    be predictable. If ordering by key is required, use a QMap.
 
    To navigate through a QSet, you can also use range-based for:
 
    \snippet code/doc_src_qset.cpp 6
 
    Items can be removed from the set using remove(). There is also a
    clear() function that removes all items.
 
    QSet's value data type must be an \l{assignable data type}. You
    cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead, store a
    QWidget *. In addition, the type must provide \c operator==(), and
    there must also be a global qHash() function that returns a hash
    value for an argument of the key's type. See the QHash
    documentation for a list of types supported by qHash().
 
    Internally, QSet uses a hash table to perform lookups. The hash
    table automatically grows and shrinks to provide fast lookups
    without wasting memory. You can still control the size of the hash
    table by calling reserve(), if you already know approximately how
    many elements the QSet will contain, but this isn't necessary to
    obtain good performance. You can also call capacity() to retrieve
    the hash table's size.

/*! \fn template <class T> void QSet<T>::reserve(qsizetype size)
 
    Ensures that the set's internal hash table consists of at

    This function is useful for code that needs to build a huge set
    and wants to avoid repeated reallocation. For example:
 
    \snippet code/doc_src_qset.cpp 7
 
    Ideally, \a size should be slightly more than the maximum number
    of elements expected in the set. \a size doesn't have to be prime,
    because QSet will use a prime number internally anyway. If \a size
    is an underestimate, the worst that will happen is that the QSet
    will be a bit slower.
 
    In general, you will rarely ever need to call this function.
    QSet's internal hash table automatically shrinks or grows to
    provide good performance without wasting too much memory.

    QSet<T>::iterator allows you to iterate over a QSet and to remove
    items (using QSet::erase()) while you iterate. (QSet doesn't let
    you \e modify a value through an iterator, because that
    would potentially require moving the value in the internal hash
    table used by QSet.) If you want to iterate over a const QSet,
    you should use QSet::const_iterator. It is generally good
    practice to use QSet::const_iterator on a non-const QSet as well,
    unless you need to change the QSet through the iterator. Const
    iterators are slightly faster, and can improve code readability.
 
    The default QSet::iterator constructor creates an uninitialized
    iterator. You must initialize it using a function like
    QSet::begin(), QSet::end(), or QSet::insert() before you can
    start iterating. Here's a typical loop that prints all the items
    stored in a set:
