I don't really see this being generally useful even as an option -- it
makes kill/yank into a completely unpredictable pair of commands, and
that sounds really confusing.

So I think if somebody really wants this, they'll just have to advice
the kill command to remove duplicates (or something like that), but I
don't think we should add such a feature to Emacs, and I'm therefore
closing this bug report.
