  Fix countless bugs in throwaway testing package Sets.[im]3

Sets.[im]3 always was a throwaway package, hastily cobbled up from
something older and must simpler, just to test OrdSets, for equal
behavour.  But, it and OrdSets ran many times, producing matching
results, giving both some credibility.  Now, bugs had shown up
all over the place in Sets, running what seems to be the same
test.  How this happened, I have no clue, but it's not worth
ferreting out.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Add some support to Pickles for [un]pickling pseudopointers.

Since the entore pickle mechanism has no knowledge of static types
of references, but runs solely on their dynamic types, there can
be only one way of handling pseudopointers in the entire link
closure of a main program.

Allow registering a special to [un]pickle pseudopointers, detected
by their being an odd byte address.

In the absence of a registered special, [un]pickle them as integers,
with the usual size and endianness conversions.
