Subset-Equational Language
     
        (SEL) A {declarative} language for set processing by Bharat
        Jayaraman with subset and equational program clauses; {pattern
        matching} over sets (it supports efficient iteration over
        sets); annotations to say which functions distribute over
        union in which arguments (for point-wise/incremental
        computation over sets); defining {transitive closure}s through
        circular constraints (implemented by mixed
        top-down/{memoisation} and bottom-up strategy);
        {meta-programming} and simple {higher-order} programming;
        modest user-interface including tracing.
     
        The SEL {compiler}, written in {Quintus Prolog}, generates
        {WAM}-like code, extended to deal with set-matching,
        {memoisation}, and the novel control structure of the
        language.  The {run-time system} is written in {C}.
