There was a short discussion as part of discussing issue #68 how `"@container": { "@list" }` is supposed to work and whether `@set` is needed.

The main issues are:

* if we do not add support for `"@container": { "@set" }`, why do we need `@container` at all then?
* if `"@container": { "@set" }` is expected to always expand/compact to an array, shouldn't `@list` do the same (currently it doesn't)?
* would something like `@ordered` and `@unordered` be better instead? (they could be added to `@type` eliminating the need for `@container`)
