OK... I quite like the idea so:
== [X] ==================================
| _ sminus _ : |P X x X -> |P X
+----------------------------------------
|forall S:|P X;t:X .
| S sminus t = { x:X|x in S and x neq t}
where sminus is typeset as, say, \heartsuit.
There you go. Now \heartsuit is your set-minus operator.
Happy?
