My version of distinct-by just took clojure.core/distinct and added a keyfn
(and optional max-n). It's hard to claim this code is readable. I took this
approach mostly because I knew it would be unlikely to be buggy, since it
was a simple change or two from clojure.core/distinct
(defn distinct-by
"Like distinct, but calls keyfn to determine distinctness, much like
sort-by.
Takes an optional max-n, indicating how many duplicates are acceptible."
([keyfn coll]
(distinct-by keyfn 1 coll))
([keyfn max-n coll]
(let [step (fn step [xs seen]
(lazy-seq
((fn [[f :as xs] seen]
(when-let [s (seq xs)]
(if (>= (get seen (keyfn f) 0) max-n)
(recur (rest s) seen)
(cons f (step (rest s) (update-in seen [(keyfn
f)] (fnil inc 0)))))))
xs seen)))]
(step coll {}))))
