Likewise, for my code (e.g. Icicles, Bookmark+) - same usual suspects: simple
sequence functions. Not a biggee, but a clear hint, no?

This is precisely what I meant by:

Such sequence functions (or similar) are one obvious place to start, IMHO. And
preferably _with_ support for at least some keyword arguments (or else
equivalent, non-keyword args) - in particular, :test and :key.
But hey, we still do not have a fast version of `remove-duplicates' -
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10386#11,
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/139546/match=remove+dups.
And that's perhaps an example of one of the problems with cl.el: the cl.el
version of `remove-duplicates' is actually much _slower_ than the typical naive
Lisp definition.
