purge Operation

# aspl WS1

①  aspl> merge a1 a2 a3 a4 into a1234
    (a1234 is assigned the merged groups of a1 a2 a3 a4)

②  aspl> purge a1 a3 from a1234 into pu24
    (pu24 is assigned a1234 after purging a1 a3)

③  aspl> merge a2 a4 into me24
    (me24 is assigned the merged groups of a2 a4)

④  aspl> equal pu24 me24
    (compare set equality of pu24 and me24)
