Here is a sample of what am trying to do with it : i have a query that returns a collection like I stated above [a,a,a,b,b,c,g,f] (parenthesis intentionally omitted) . When i use distinct([a,a,a,b,b,c,g,f]) it returns the same collection as before [a,a,a,b,b,c,g,f] . But the method asSet() returns distinct elements as I expected.
Hope this helps.
