Collapsing the address list has to build the result list anyway to actually handle the deduplication part of its job, so returning a concrete list makes sense in that case.
Having only one function return a list instead of an iterator seems questionable.
Depending on the code it could either keep track of what it has returned so far in a set and avoid duplication that way; or, just return an `iter(listobject)` instead of `listobject`.
