module Puppet::Parser::Functions
  newfunction(:unique, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-EOS
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"]
