def list_set(seq):
    """Similar to `list(set(seq))`, but maintains the order of `seq` while eliminating duplicates

    In general list(set(L)) will not have the same order as the original list.
    This is a list(set(L)) function that will preserve the order of L.

    Arguments:
      seq (iterable): list, tuple, or other iterable to be used to produce an ordered `set()`

    Returns:
      iterable: A copy of `seq` but with duplicates removed, and distinct elements in the same order as in `seq`

    Examples:
      >>> list_set([2.7,3,2,2,2,1,1,2,3,4,3,2,42,1])
      [2.7, 3, 2, 1, 4, 42]
      >>> list_set(['Zzz','abc', ('what.', 'ever.'), 0, 0.0, 'Zzz', 0.00, 'ABC'])
      ['Zzz', 'abc', ('what.', 'ever.'), 0, 'ABC']
