Return from an iterable, a list of all the unique elements in the input,

A naive solution to this problem which just makes a dictionary with the
elements as keys fails to respect the stability condition, since
dictionaries are unsorted by nature.
Note: All elements in the input must be valid dictionary keys for this
routine to work, as it internally uses a dictionary for efficiency
reasons."""
