title: Is there a shorthand declaration in Swift for an empty Set similar to Array
body: <p>In short, with Swift I can declare an empty Array of a particular type with something akin to the following (without having to use the initializer syntax):</p>
  <p><code>var myArray : [Int] = []</code></p>
  <p>I have not been able to find a similar shorthand to declare an empty Set since they both use the brackets.  I either have to use the initializer syntax or I have to use:</p>
  <p><code>var mySet : Set&lt;Int&gt; = []</code></p>
  <p>Which, granted, is not odious, but I wondered if I am missing some syntax sugar somewhere.</p>
  <p>(added) &quot;Shorthand&quot; was a bad choice of words.  What I was really after was clarity, I guess.  In the example for myArray, it's pretty clear what is going on, and it matches the format for a lot of other common variable declarations.  The angle &lt;&gt; notation is a bit more obscure.</p>
