This is a set operation (set difference), not a list operation. Sure it is a set operation. As is `uniq`, or even `max`. You could want to do the same operation to hashkeys, or to a CSV string. But the most common way that the set-difference problem shows up is as the set difference between two lists. If not List::MoreUtils, I'm still surprised it isn't in one of the common modules. throop	[reply] [d/l] [select]
