Would it be right to conclude that (assuming an efficient generator that doesn't generate duplicates), that you will only achieve this optimisation when generating multiple (related) powersets? That is, in your second example,
Or, can the code assume that the sets are pre-ordered? Or should it sort them? Or does the definition of powersets imply some ordering? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
