remove-duplicates

Returns a sequence without duplicates.

test is the function used to determine whether one element is a duplicate of another. The test argument may be non-commutative; it will always be called with its arguments in the same order as they appear in source-sequence.

The result-sequence may or may not be freshly allocated. However, the source-sequence will not be modified by this operation.

remove-duplicates (#("spam", "eggs", "spam",
                     "sausage", "spam", "spam"),
                    test: \=)
 ⇒  #("spam", "eggs", "sausage")
or
 ⇒  #("eggs", "spam", "sausage")
or
 ⇒  #("eggs", "sausage", "spam")
