The set and let keywords are very similar and easy to confuse, leading to accidental shadowing sometimes. In addition, let is already sufficient to disambiguate declaration/binding from assignment, so set doesn't provide any actual value syntactically. We can leave the keyword in but make it optional in the parser, and then later follow up with a lint rule about it.
