    //! Removes all consecutive duplicate elements from a Sequence.
    //! @ingroup group-Sequence
    //!
    //! Given a `Sequence` and an optional binary predicate, `unique` returns
    //! a new sequence containing only the first element of every subrange
    //! of the original sequence whose elements are all equal. In other words,
    //! it turns a sequence of the form `[a, a, b, c, c, c, d, d, d, a]` into
    //! a sequence `[a, b, c, d, a]`. The equality of two elements is
    //! determined by the provided `predicate`, or by `equal` if no
    //! `predicate` is provided.
    //!
    //!
    //! Signature
    //! ---------
    //! Given a `Sequence` `S(T)`, a `Logical` `Bool` and a binary predicate
    //! \f$ T \times T \to Bool \f$, `unique` has the following signature:
    //! \f[
    //!     \mathtt{unique} : S(T) \times (T \times T \to Bool) \to S(T)
    //! \f]
    //!
    //! @param xs
    //! The sequence from which to remove consecutive duplicates.
    //!
    //! @param predicate
    //! A function called as `predicate(x, y)`, where `x` and `y` are adjacent
    //! elements of the sequence, and returning a `Logical` representing
    //! whether `x` and `y` should be considered equal. `predicate` should
    //! define an [equivalence relation][1] over the elements of the sequence.
    //! In the current implementation of the library, `predicate` has to
    //! return a compile-time `Logical`. This parameter is optional; it
    //! defaults to `equal` if it is not provided, which then requires the
    //! elements of the sequence to be compile-time `Comparable`.
    //!
    //!
    //! Syntactic sugar (`unique.by`)
    //! -----------------------------
    //! `unique` can be called in an alternate way, which provides a nice
    //! syntax, especially in conjunction with the `comparing` combinator:
    //! @code
    //!     unique.by(predicate, xs) == unique(xs, predicate)
    //!     unique.by(predicate) == unique(-, predicate)
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //! where `unique(-, predicate)` denotes the partial application of
    //! `unique` to `predicate`.
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/unique.cpp
    //!
