// ### setOfChars
/**
 *
 * Creates a set of chars from the input string `s`. This is useful
 * in even more aggressive string matching using Jaccard or Tversky compared to
 * `marker()`. It also has an alias **`soc()`**.
 *
 * @alias string#setOfChars
 * @param {string} str the input string.
 * @param {function} [ifn=undefined] a function to build index; it receives the first
 * character of `str` and the `idx` as input arguments. The `build()` function of
 * [helper.returnIndexer](#helperreturnindexer) may be used as `ifn`. If `undefined`
 * then index is not built.
 * @param {number} [idx=undefined] the index; passed as the second argument to the `ifn`
 * function.
 * @return {string} the soc.
 * @example
 * setOfChars( 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' );
 * // -> ' abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
