It seems like the "goodness" of this lies in how well the UNIQ function can determine if two numbers are truly unique. Then, after that, how well Value_Locate can match unique values to their duplicates. Is that right?

> Note that two floats are only assumed equal when they have the exact same binary value.

I think there is more information in this sentence than I can grasp at the moment... Is there any reason to suspect that the precision of the result is less than the precision of the numeric type of the input array?
