Actually I think keymaps _are_ the simple case, in that they're unordered and
have no duplicate entries.  ... :-)

Using diff-lists for lists, on the other hand, does have the issue of
ordering (you have to know where to add new entries, and sometimes it won't
be at the beginning or end; if you record an existing entry to add after,
what if it isn't found?).
