# stable_dedup.py
from sys import argv

wordset = set()
argv.pop(0)
for word in argv: wordset.add(word)
for word in wordset: print(word)
```
If that ever shows up in a profile of a kernel build, <set> in C++
looks pretty similar. Then that script can be reused in a couple of
other places, and has a more descriptive name that hints at what it
does.

Compare that with `$(AWK) -v RS='( |\n)' '!x[$$0]++'`.
