I will say from some other things that I've looked at recently that speed would be so much faster in the engine - if it was a feature that merited being there. I did kind of cheat in that I looked at how the engine did the array union/intersect functions. The source actually contains LCS versions of the logic too. What I'm thinking is that there will be an array size where iterating the array 3 times (twice by the engine- intersect and symmetric difference or union) will be faster than iterating the array once in LCS (using modified union logic). All of the current engine array code is based on comparing the key. The distinction here is that a value comparison is also required.
