While translating doc to french, I found a surprising comment in stdtypes.html about sets, stating:

To support searching for an equivalent frozenset, the elem set is temporarily mutated during the search and then restored. During the search, the elem set should not be read or mutated since it does not have a meaningful value.

So I searched the equivalent in the code, at least to help me understand it to translate it in a proper way, but found it has been deleted in 51ced7a.

This commit is in branches 2.7 and 3.1 to 3.6 (and master).
