[ set->find ]
[set->find] searches the set for the parameter and returns a set element which matches. Accepts a single parameter of any data type including matchers. If no elements in the set match the parameter to the [set->find] method then the return value is void
This method is particularly useful when the set is a set of pairs, in which case the name of the name/value pair is compared to the search parameter.
