Org mode is fundamentally an outliner, and one often makes lists with
an outliner. Filtering out duplicates from a list seems to me like a
common need. I wrote such a command to support some of my work flows,
and I posted this here because I think there is a possibility that
other Org users might also find it useful.
If this is not so, I’m perfectly okay just keeping this in my personal
config.
