Re: [O] New feature? Remove duplicate subheadings, preserving order

AFAIK, this is the first time this need is expressed on this ML. There is no equivalent in "org-list.el" either. A way to handle duplicates would be useful, indeed. But a basic function should only remove duplicates that are truly identical (same properties, same tags, same/no content).
