Answer 2

In case you are looking for the Sicstus built-in predicate implementation, it can be found here: http://www.sics.se/sicstus/docs/4.2.1/html/sicstus/mpg_002dref_002dsetof.html as:

setof(+Template, +Generator, -Set)

Unlike findall/3 and bagof/3, setof does not return duplicates and does give sorted order.
