 *
 * nodeUnique.c
 *	  Routines to handle unique'ing of queries where appropriate
 *
 * Unique is a very simple node type that just filters out duplicate
 * tuples from a stream of sorted tuples from its subplan.  It's essentially
 * a dumbed-down form of Group: the duplicate-removal functionality is
 * identical.  However, Unique doesn't do projection nor qual checking,
 * so it's marginally more efficient for cases where neither is needed.
 * (It's debatable whether the savings justifies carrying two plan node
 * types, though.)
