I think if we go this route, we need to choose some very explicit
properties. Both the terms "Abstract" and "Full set" seem subject to
interpretation. "HasDistinctFlowersAndSeasons" for example, is hard to
misinterpret. We should also avoid rolling too many distinct traits
into a single property, because inevitably, someone will create a set
with some of the traits but not all. Then again, maybe having
"HasDistinctFlowers" and "HasDistinctSeasons" is going to far.

Anyway, I'm not a Mahjongg expert, but I just think if we come up with
a scheme we should put enough thought into it now, so we don't end up
having to update it every other release in the future.
