Another way to do set comparisons is with HISTOGRAM. This method is
used within the set_operations.pro file that David Fanning just
mentioned. It is also used by CMSET_OP, if the dynamic range of
values is small. If the dynamic range is large, then there is a
penalty because a huge histogram is created to store a few values.
CMSET_OP chooses dynamically whether to use the HISTOGRAM or
SORT/UNIQ.
