Org mode is fundamentally an outliner, and one often makes lists with an outliner. Filtering out duplicates from a list seems to me like a common need. I wrote such a command to support some of my work flows, and I posted this here because I think there is a possibility that other Org users might also find it useful. If this is not so, I’m perfectly okay just keeping this in my personal config.
