These are methods of AbstractSet inherited and in my opinion
preposterously pedestrian. You might as well have used a TreeSet as an
Enum.  A proper intersection method for EnumSets would be implemented
with a single AND machine instruction.

Mathematicians have been using the term "intersection" for at least
100 years. I think it was improper of Sun/Oracle to rename the
functions.
