Document that __cmp__() is not defined for sets.

Note, that list.sort() is undefined for lists of sets.
Add the ... prompt to the example so it runs in doctest.

 A set is greater than another set if and only if the first set is a proper
 superset of the second set (is a superset, but is not equal).
 
+The subset and equality comparisons do not generalize to a complete
+ordering function.  For example, any two disjoint sets are not equal and
+are not subsets of each other, so \emph{none} of the following are true:
+\code{\var{a}<\var{b}}, \code{\var{a}==\var{b}}, or \code{\var{a}>\var{b}}.
+Accordingly, sets do not implement the \method{__cmp__} method.

+Since sets only define partial ordering (subset relationships), the output
+of the \method{list.sort()} method is undefined for lists of sets.
