I think Delphi has the most convenient implementation of sets.

  type
     TWorkDay = (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) ;
     TDaySet = set of TWorkDay;
  var
     days : TDaySet;
  begin
     days := [Monday, Friday];

     days := days + [Tuesday, Thursday] - [Friday];

     if Wednesday IN days then ShowMessage('I love Wednesday!') ;

It also uses the 2^n binary notation internally. Any proposed solution should
add safety as well as the basic set operators. As long as it is still easier to
write "set &= ~flag" to remove a flag from a set, it failed its mission.
It would be even better if a set type would be allowed in bindings to C code or
painlessly converted to it's integer representation with "set.val" or similar.
