The docs for unique(itr) seems to have been redundant, cf. #15741 (comment).

base/multidimensional.jl Outdated
Returns an array containing only the unique elements of the iterable `itr`, in
the order that the first of each set of equivalent elements originally appears.
The unicity is determined by [`isequal`](@ref).

I think "unicity" is a fairly uncommon word. (Indeed, Firefox spellcheck is marking it as incorrect, though a Google search shows it exists.) I think "uniqueness" might be clearer here.

I gotta say, I do love the suggestions in one of the answers regarding rhyming. We really need more rhyming docstrings.

See #20800, which I should have merged a few weeks ago.

@nalimilan oups I hadn't search for open PR on that, sorry. I will check if there is something left of this one now that you merged.

So I still think the docstring were redundant, I updated accordingly. I also updated the example unique([1; 2; 2; 6]) into unique([1, 2, 6, 2]) to make it clear that the duplicates don't have to be grouped for unique to uniquify them.

Indeed, my PR didn't get rid of repetitions.
