Remove set operator support since the current implementation does not meet
user expectations, as mentioned in bug #253802, comment #5: Package set operators currently operate on atoms, but what users really need is for them to operate on the packages themselves. This will allow one set to add or subtract packages from another even though the sets to not use the exact same atoms to refer to the given packages. I imagine the way this should be done is to create a mapping of atom -> package for each set, perform the intersection using the packages, and then map the package intersection back into a set of atoms. svn path=/main/trunk/; revision=13787
