Originally there was delete-dups in the default anything sources, but
I removed it after a while, because for sources with large candidate
sets it caused a noticable delay.

For example, I have history-length set to 1000 and it was annoying I
had to wait a second or so when anything was started while anything
removed duplicates from the file-name-history.

So this setting as a default might not appeal to most users, unless my
large history setting is not common.
