[heading Description]
`unique` removes all but the first element of each sequence of duplicate encountered in `rng`.
Elements in the range `[new_last, end(rng))` are dereferenceable but undefined.
Equality is determined by the predicate if one is supplied, or by `operator==()` for `ForwardRange`'s value type.
[heading Definition]
Defined in the header file `boost/range/algorithm/unique.hpp`
[heading Requirements]
[*For the non-predicate versions of unique:]
* `ForwardRange` is a model of the __forward_range__ Concept.
* `ForwardRange` is mutable.
* `ForwardRange`'s value type is a model of the `EqualityComparableConcept`.
[*For the predicate versions of unique:]
* `ForwardRange` is a model of the __forward_range__ Concept.
* `ForwardRange` is mutable.
* `BinaryPredicate` is a model of the `BinaryPredicateConcept`.
* `ForwardRange`'s value type is convertible to `BinaryPredicate`'s first argument type and to `BinaryPredicate`'s second argument type.
[heading Complexity]
Linear. `O(N)` where `N` is `distance(rng)`. Exactly `distance(rng)` comparisons are performed.
