I have no idea what that "natural English" is supposed to mean. Is the function name "to union" with an included space or is "to" a reserved word which is looking for a module named "union" which it finds because the "to" in the function definition is ignored?

Union is the name of the function.

And besides that, won't

SetC = SetA & SetB

No, because that would duplicate any elements that are in both lists.

Well, perhaps duplication of elements is a problem.

Exactly.

but my real question is the syntax.

In "set foo to union(SetA, SetB)", "to" is required.

In the function itself, "to" is synonymous with "on"
