Question is, why someone would be adding elements with overlapping ranges in an anonymous set? Then, when listing the ruleset you will get something different to what you've added. This would also be inconsistent with regards to the existing behaviour in named sets, where this is turned off by default. For named sets, that are useful to maintain white/blacklists, I understand this simplifies complexity for people dealing with them. But not sure for anonymous sets. @Jeff: Is this also useful to you in the anonymous set use-case? IIRC we agreed that this was good for named sets, but not for anonymous sets.
