I don't actually think the apidiff compatibility check is valid here. Any concrete usage of the set library should continue to work, since the interface itself has not changed it's underlying signature. |

Without a concrete use case in k/k I don't know if we want to check this in. Do we have one?
I'm not sure on names. Having a pkg per type feels bad, but it's not clear what package this should be in.
Go has strings and slices. We have set (which should probably be sets). Maybe maps ?
Would BiMap be sufficient? Just looking for shorter. Not critical

I would flesh this out more. What is the semantic, what guarantees does it offer or not offer, what is it for (a real example)? Also explaion which is the left-key and right-value vs. the left-value and right-key.
Naively I would expect BiDiMap[X, Y] to mean map[X]Y + Map[Y]X, but this seems to be the opposite

I'm not sure what you mean by opposite, map[X]Y + Map[Y]X can be invalidated by have multiple keys in map[x]y map to the same y value. e.g.:
a = map[string]string
a["a"] = "1"
a["b"] = "1"
The reverse mapping must return a list of the keys of map a otherwise we have a lossy reverse map.
Therefore, a bidirectional map must be two maps, each of which map to a list (or set) of values.

Examples with different types would better illustrate.
You could add an example_test.go to get a nice godoc example
furthermore, this PR extracts out the generic interfaces we use in the generic set implementation so that we can reuse them in the bidirectional map.

What's the motivation for exporting the type? are we expecting other things to reference the interface? They couldn't previously, which had the benefit of only allowing people to declare KeySet with their own types, which had to be compatible with our constraints... that seemed reasonable to me.

I'd need to redeclare the exact same type in the maps package otherwise, since the output of the value of a map is a generic set.

How about waiting for the bump to Go 1.21 in utils and relying on cmp.Ordered? See also #295.
