              This program is an example of how use the set template in
              the STL of C++ 98.

                    // This is different from a 'set'.
  mySet.insert(4);

  // We can traverse the whole thing like this: 
  std::cout << "All the elements of the set: ";

  // One way to check if something is an element of a set is with count().
  // Unlike with set, count can be any non-negative value in a multiset.
