//! <b>Requires</b>: The comparison function shall be an equivalence relation. The type of *first shall satisfy
//! the MoveAssignable requirements
//!
//! <b>Effects</b>: For a nonempty range, eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive group
//!   of equivalent elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first + 1, last) for which the
//!   following conditions hold: pred(*(i - 1), *i) != false.
//!
//! <b>Returns</b>: The end of the resulting range.
//!
//! <b>Complexity</b>: For nonempty ranges, exactly (last - first) - 1 applications of the corresponding predicate.
