Just a quick thought - Ada also has sets, AFAIK, and is integrated into gcc now. I would expect that their backend solutions would also work for Pascal.
1) AFAIK Ada do not have sets.
2) Ada front end is very different from GPC. At least one GPC bug would be very easy to fix if GPC worked the Gnat way (but GPC is much simpler then Gnat). If you want to know more about the difference look at: http://cobolforgcc.sourceforge.net/cobol_14.html Many details on this page are out of date, but it explains nicely differnce between GPC approach (direct coupling with the backend) and Ada approach.
