+# gimp_image_rec_remove_layer_stack_dups() removes duplicate entries from
+# the layer_stack (MRU history of selected-layer sets). For each stack
+# entry, it calls g_slist_find_custom() which scans remaining entries (O(S)).
+# The comparison function gimp_image_layer_stack_cmp() calls g_list_length()
+# on both lists (O(L) each) and then g_list_find() in a loop (O(L²)).
+# Combined: O(S² × L²). Called on every layer removal.
+#
+# Fix: compare using sorted pointer arrays for O(L log L) comparison,
+# or hash the selection sets for O(1) identity check.
