So far we only need to know the maximum number of elements. Instead of trying to anticipate the information future set types will need, the plan is to add more as we require it under the assumption that we will converge to a state where a new set type already has all information required available. The expectation is that most set types will require the same information for estimation since they most likely will be some type of tree or trie. Please apply.
