You've got me there, though this is quite an exception; I don't see
why we have to introduce something that's barely used...
`qgrep -eH '^\s*\bset\b' | wc -l`
yields 150
`qgrep -eH '^\s*\bset\b' | sed 's/:.*//g' | sed
's/\/[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*$//g' | sort -u | wc -l`
yields 34
Only 34 packages, and do these all _really_ need a 'set'? I doubt it.

For set this would make sense, unless someone finds a way to deal with
that too; any Bash experts around here?

Actually, bug wranglers stopped asked for English build logs because
setting LC_ALL=C ended up breaking things.
