This RFC proposes adding two new functions, List\unique() and
Assoc\unique() as alternatives using strict equality (===) semantics,
the former discarding and the latter preserving keys.
I believe this would be better solved as part of the more generic
"expanded iterable helper functions" proposal (which I really hope makes
it into a proper RFC that is accepted):
https://externals.io/message/118896
Deduplication is reasonably well-defined for arbitrary iterators (even
infinite iterators) and I don't think iterators (esp. Generators) should
remain second-class citizens to arrays going forward.
Side note: I *really* hope the discussion will be about more than just
the namespaces.
In addition to the reasons above: Yes, adding two new single-function
namespaces IMO is not a good thing, because it only adds to the
inconsistency. Adding new namespaces should be part of a "bigger picture".
