=head1 NAME

Set::Scalar::ValuedUniverse - universes for valued set members

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<Do not use directly.>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

There are only two guaranteed interfaces, both sort of indirect.

The first one is accessing the universe of a valued set:

    $valued_set->universe

This contains the members of the universe

    $valued_set->universe->members

of the C<$valued_set>.

The second supported interface is displaying universes of valued sets.

    print $valued_set->universe, "\n";

This will display the members of the valued set inside square brackets: [],
as opposed to valued sets, which have their members shown inside
parentheses: ().
