I meant, you can't. A set is not an ordinal type, but an structured
type, so a set of sets is impossible.

That will work as long as UsersMsgTaggedAreas  is restricted to 256
different values or less.
And, not sure, but I think if num is out of the range of values of
UsersMsgTaggedAreas's base type  then the 'in' test won't result true or
false, but an error.
