FYI, kjbuckets uses '+' (union) and '&' (intersection). '*' is used for
graph composition. It so happens that graph composition applied to sets
views each set as a graph of self-loops
(1, 2, 7} -> {(1, 1), (2, 2), (7, 7)}
and the composition of two such self-loop graphs is the self-loop graph of
the sets' intersection. So you can view '*' as being a set intersection
operation there. It's more useful to compose a graph with a set, in which
case you get the subgraph all of whose start-arc nodes are in the set (set *
graph), or all of whose end-arc nodes are in the set (graph * set). This is
all very handy if you do a lot of it, but getting comfortable with this
higher-level of view of things is at the other end of a learning curve.
