/**
 * ORSet (Observed-Removed Set) is a state-based CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type)
 * that supports both addition and removal of elements. This particular implementation follows
 * the Add-Wins strategy, meaning that in case of conflicting add and remove operations,
 * the add operation takes precedence. The merge operation of two OR-Sets ensures that
 * elements added at any replica are eventually observed at all replicas. Removed elements,
 * once observed, are never reintroduced.
 * This OR-Set implementation provides methods for adding elements, removing elements,
 * checking for element existence, retrieving the set of elements, comparing with other OR-Sets,
 * and merging with another OR-Set to create a new OR-Set containing all unique elements
 * from both sets.
