+ Notice
+
+ This PEP is withdrawn by the author. He writes:
+
+ Removing duplicate elements from a list is a common task, but
+ there are only two reasons I can see for making it a built-in.
+ The first is if it could be done much faster, which isn't the
+ case. The second is if it makes it significantly easier to
+ write code. The introduction of sets.py eliminates this
+ situation since creating a sequence without duplicates is just
+ a matter of choosing a different data structure: a set instead
+ of a list.
+
+ As described in PEP 218, sets are being added to the standard
+ library for Python 2.3.
