‘channel-name’ always returns a symbol so this procedure can be removed.

I believe it’s equivalent to:

  (define (extend-channel-list initial new)
    (delete-duplicates
     (append initial new)
     (lambda (channel1 channel2)
       (eq? (channel-name channel1) (channel-name channel2)))))

… which is somewhat clearer IMO.

Could you send an updated patch?
