Symmetric set difference operator.
Returns the symmetric set difference of all its arguments. This creates a new Set made up of all the elements that $a has but $b doesn't and all the elements $b has but $a doesn't if none of the arguments are a Bag, BagHash, Mix or MixHash. Equivalent to ($a ∖ $b) ∪ ($b ∖ $a).
say <a b> (^) <b c>; # OUTPUT: «set(a c)»
If any of the arguments are Baggy or Mixy>, the result is a new Bag (or Mix).
say <a b> ⊖ bag(<b c>); # OUTPUT: «Bag(a, c)»
⊖ is equivalent to (^), at codepoint U+2296 (CIRCLED MINUS).
