Returns the first occurrence of each string, preserving input order.

These helpers are intentionally small data-shaping conveniences for render code, routers, and configuration trees. They are useful when porting habits from React/Next/Remix code where lists of routes, navigation items, cards, or records are transformed close to the rendering boundary.

```cpp
auto tags = list_unique({"uce", "docs", "uce"});
```

Prefer these helpers over open-coded loops when the transformation itself is the important part of the code. Use an explicit loop when mutation, error handling, or side effects are the main concern.
