Add unique method to lists #983

Closed flbulgarelli closed 7 years ago

flbulgarelli commented 8 years ago

I have already see asSet().asList() idiom in many students solutions. So we need a method for removing duplicates in lists, without converting them into sets. It could be as simple as: 

method unique() = asSet().asList()

It could be a method with or without effects, it is not so important for me. An effectful method could be named removeDuplicates or something like that.

I do not like the name unique.

removeDuplicates sounds ok for an effectful methods or #withoutDuplicates

could work for a pure one.

Ok, withoutDuplicates sounds good for a pure method!
