I should have known that Gabor would reply within minutes with a nice
one-line solution ... :)

Excellent. That will work. Candidates has no dupes because expand.grid()
constructs it. Comparison may have dupes, but we can ignore that.
By putting the 'larger set' against we which to compare second, we catch the
markers from duplicated(), and then subset via tail(). That's exactly what
needed.
Thanks, and chapeau for a very elegant one-liner, Dirk
