And yet "sets of files" was added by someone. Good; that helps.

This too was fixed.
Items 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of this detailed doc report have NOT
been fixed. The bug is still open. And there are still plenty
of good suggestions for fixing the problems - in the original
bug report.

OK, since Lars has never heard of it, and Lars is an Emacs-Lisp
user, this cannot be interesting to other Lisp programmers. ;-)
And yet there is plenty of 3rd-party use of filesets and the
fileset code...

Reopening.
You ignored 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 - all major parts of the bug report.
And you also ignored this, from a followup message:
