+Filters stream to remove duplicates based on the string property name or the result of function. When using a function, the function receives the streamed data (objects containing `cwd`, `base`, `path` properties) to compare against.

 Any glob-related options are documented in [node-glob][node-glob-url]. Those options are forwarded verbatim, with the exception of `root` and `ignore`. `root` is pre-resolved and `ignore` is joined with all negative globs.
