In case it matters, the given solution has a problem if the data look like:
x <- c(sum=77, test=99, sum=99) By the description all three elements should be kept, but the duplicated solution throws out the last element. A more complicated solution is: unique(data.frame(x, names(x))) (and then put the vector back together again).
