Unique R←∪Y

Y may be any array. The result R has the same rank as Y, unless Y is a scalar, in which case R is a one-element vector. The major cells of R are the unique major cells of Y (the unique elements of a vector, the unique rows of a matrix, and so on), in the order in which they first appear in Y.

⎕CT and ⎕DCT are implicit arguments of unique.
