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.
