+ 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+     This PEP is withdrawn by the author.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.
