dedup = set(strings)

  Then what do you replace this line with? s = dedup.setdefault(s, s) There's not an obvious way to get the object in a set that matches a value you have.

  While this works for dedup'ing a single set of strings, it doesn't work for dedup'ing string identities across the application lifetime because you don't have a fast way of fetching the deduplicated version from the base.
