Probably, this is like  the set/class of all sets in the axiomatic
classical set theory.

  T : Set₁
  T = Set

is type-checked, and  T : Set  is not.

Now, for  S, T  : Set l,

build all type expressions from  S and T  by repeatedly applying the
constructors  ×, →, ⊍.

Probably, each of these types is in  Set l.  
Right?
