This preserves ordering and it's in-place. Not tested much:

size_t pos = 0;

If you replace that "=" with a swap, then you can also preserve
the duplicate elements at the end (although in no specific
ordering):
import std.stdio : writefln;
import std.algorithm : canFind, swap;
//----
void main()
{
auto arr = [1,1,5,2,3,2,2,4,5,5,1];
size_t pos = 0;
foreach(ref e; arr)
if (!arr[0 .. pos].canFind(e))
swap(arr[pos++], e);
writefln("uniques: %s", arr[0 .. pos]);
writefln("dupes: %s", arr[pos .. $]);
}
//----
I was trying a "100% inplace" solution, but I found nothing
better than N². It's basically still what you submitted though.
