I have a suggestion then: Is it possible to include the number of 
members registered in the set in the set headers - something like 
"Members: xxxxxx"? That way I won't be guessing how much members I have 
in a set (particularly if members of said set run into many thousands) 
and don't rely (as I did previously) on my text files to do "estimates", 
which, as we've seen, could be wrong and misleading and I would be able 
to view this with the "-terse" option.
