   * Create the difference of two (multi)sets: every element of set1, that is not the element of set2.

   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.setDifference(set1, set2)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.setDifference([1, 2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5, 6]);            // returns [1, 2]
   *    math.setDifference([[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[3, 4], [5, 6]]);    // returns [1, 2]
   *
   * See also:
   *
   *    setUnion, setIntersect, setSymDifference
   *
   * @param {Array | Matrix}    a1  A (multi)set
   * @param {Array | Matrix}    a2  A (multi)set
   * @return {Array | Matrix}    The difference of two (multi)sets
