 176      the most likely duplicates are the first element with an
 177      arbitrary other element, or pair-wise duplication between the

 180      worth the effort to slow down to an O(n log n) algorithm that
 181      sorts the array in place, nor the extra memory needed for
 182      duplicate removal via an O(n) hash-table.  Hence, this function
