module Puppet::Parser::Functions
  newfunction(:unique, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-DOC
    This function will remove duplicates from strings and arrays.

    *Examples:*

        unique("aabbcc")

    Will return:

        abc

    You can also use this with arrays:

        unique(["a","a","b","b","c","c"])

    This returns:

        ["a","b","c"]
