         $|(~ [n=a l=(set a) r=(set a)])                ::

Tile generator. A ++set is a treap with unique values.

++jar

++  jar  |*([a=_,* b=_,*] (map a (list b)))             ::  map of lists

Tile generator. A ++jar is a ++map of ++list.

++jug

++  jug  |*([a=_,* b=_,*] (map a (set b)))              ::  map of sets

Tile generator. Similar to ++jar, but with ++set. A ++jug is a ++map of ++set.

~zod/try=> =a (sa (limo [1 2 ~]))
~zod/try=> a
{1 2}
~zod/try=> =b (sa (limo [3 4 ~]))
~zod/try=> b
{4 3}
~zod/try=> =c (mo (limo [[%a a] [%b b] ~]))
~zod/try=> c
{[p=%a q={1 2}] [p=%b q={4 3}]}
~zod/try=> (~(get ju c) %b)
{4 3}
~zod/try=> (~(put ju c) [%b 5])
{[p=%a q={1 2}] [p=%b q={5 4 3}]}
