+The
+.codn keepq ,
+.code keepql
+and
+.code keepqual
+functions produce a new list based on
+.metn list ,
+removing the items whose keys are not
+.codn eq ,
+.code eql
+or
+.code equal
+to
+.metn object .
+
+The input
+.meta list
+is unmodified, but the returned list may share substructure
+with it. If no items are removed, it is possible that the return value
+is
+.meta list
+itself.
+
+The optional
+.meta key-function
+is applied to each element from the
+.meta list
+to convert it to a key which is compared to
+.metn object .
+If
+.meta key-function
+is omitted, then each element itself of
+.meta list
+is compared to
+.metn object .
