The docs say "Test whether the set is a proper subset of other" for both set < other and set > other built-in functions.

Is that a misprint? How could it be both?

For the <= and >= operators it properly reverses the order so one says:

Test whether every element in the set is in other.

and the other:

Test whether every element in other is in the set.

For 'set < other' it says sub-set ... for 'set > other' is says super-set. Subset vs superset. So I think it's correct in the documentation.

The docs look fine to me as well.
