how to remove duplicates in a string

gharish

  • Yes, I'm sure it's private. I wouldn't have said so otherwise. I checked in our internal registry.

    I was involved in the team that set up the rules for SKILL function naming (probably about 15 years ago now) and so most things since then follow the rules. However, certain historical functions do not - and we weren't going to edit their names (and risk destabilizing the code).

    Occasionally there are implementations in core SKILL which are not ready yet, and so we choose not to document them and make them public until they are. unwindProtect is also documented in IC615 - so that's not one. Some of the others are historically there, but have never been chosen to be made public. Depending on the state of their implementation, that may change - but I don't see artUnique being one of those because it's a utility function owned by the ADE team, and if it was public it would make more sense for it to be in core SKILL.

    The general rule is that new public functions should have a clearly public name, and should be documented. So if it is not documented, it is not public (at least not yet if it is new), and should be avoided because it is liable to change.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
