Yes, you are right, but current implementation rely on indexing from 1 to
self size...
Generalization is trivial if we tolerate storing subcollections in an Array
even if we iterate on a Set,
   ^self asArray combinations: n atATimeDo: aBlock
If we insist on storing subcollections in self species, that may require a
greater effort.

But this already exist, at least for SequenceableCollection, try:

(1 to: 4) combinations: 2 atATimeDo: [:e | Transcript cr; show: e
printString]
