Bother -- it happened again. First we had repeat for each turning up

repeat for each (when repeat for each is handled the following way).
function deleteDupes pList -- does _not_ retain sort order
repeat for each line L in pList
put 1 into temp[L]
end repeat
return the keys of temp
end deleteDupes
Wow. That's good to know. Who woulda thunk? Our of curiosity, how long
is "twice as long"? Is it minimal, or something we have to think about
for long lists?
I have a theory: the "filter" command has to load some kind of library
or something, so it takes longer. That doesn't explain "split" though.
