/**
* Return an ASN1 set from a tagged object. There is a special
* case here, if an object appears to have been explicitly tagged on
* reading but we were expecting it to be implicitly tagged in the
* normal course of events it indicates that we lost the surrounding
* set - so we need to add it back (this will happen if the tagged
* object is a sequence that contains other sequences). If you are
* dealing with implicitly tagged sets you really <b>should</b>
* be using this method.
*
* @param obj the tagged object.
* @param explicitly true if the object is meant to be explicitly tagged
* false otherwise.
* @exception ArgumentException if the tagged object cannot
* be converted.
