Bug #1626: Set Raises NoMethodError for Non-Enumerable Arguments
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1626

Attempting to construct a Set on 1.9 with a non-Enumerable argument causes a NoMethodError to be raised, which is unintuitive.

    $ ruby -rset -ve 'Set.new 3'
    ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-06-13 trunk 23682) [i686-linux]
    /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/set.rb:282:in `merge': undefined method `each' for 3:Fixnum (NoMethodError)
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/set.rb:75:in `initialize'
	from -e:1:in `new'
	from -e:1:in `<main>'

1.8 raises an ArgumentError for this scenario, which is far more sensible.

    $ ruby1.8 -rset -ve 'Set.new 3'
    ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]
    /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/set.rb:262:in `merge': value must be enumerable (ArgumentError)
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/set.rb:75:in `initialize'
	from -e:1:in `new'
	from -e:1
