/**
 * TwoPhaseSet (2P-Set) is a state-based CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type) designed for managing sets
 * with support for both addition and removal operations in a distributed and concurrent environment.
 * It combines two G-Sets (grow-only sets) - one set for additions and another set (tombstone set) for removals.
 * Once an element is removed and placed in the tombstone set, it cannot be re-added, adhering to "remove-wins" semantics.
 * This implementation supports querying the presence of elements, adding elements, removing elements,
 * comparing with other 2P-Sets, and merging two 2P-Sets while preserving the remove-wins semantics.
