This function recurses through a ShojiOrder
or OrderGroup
and
removes any duplicate entities. As with base::duplicated
,
the first appearance of an entity is kept, and subsequent occurrences are marked as duplicated
and removed. (Unlike duplicated
, there is no option to reverse that order.)
The first occurrence of an entity is determined by the function's recursion:
within each group, nested groups are processed first, in order, and
their nested groups are processed recursively. See the test suite, in
test-variable-order.R, for an example that illustrates which entities are
dropped as duplicate.
