Sets:

set := make(map[string]bool)

// add to set
set["a"] = true

# Sometimes we want to re-use a piece of programming logic.  Copy-and-paste is
# not necessarily a good approach, as it is prone to errors and duplicates
# work.  A good maxim is "Don't Repeat Yourself."  Let's see how we can use
# functions to eliminate repetition.
