   Luc?

I agree.  Maybe one could make a slight change to the docstring to
make clear that no setq is necessary:

(defun delete-dups (list)
  "Destructively remove `equal' duplicates from LIST.
Store the result in LIST and return it.  LIST must be a proper list.
Of several `equal' occurrences of an element in LIST, the first
one is kept."
  (let ((tail list))
    (while tail
      (setcdr tail (delete (car tail) (cdr tail)))
      (setq tail (cdr tail))))
  list)

Sincerely,

Luc.
