This doesn't work for me.
The first line is the log of the ObjectIDs of a property of a document that I get from the DB.
The second line is the result of a concat method in which I merge the array from line 1 with an array with another ObjectID.
The third line is the result of your function, which seemingly gives me the wrong result. 🙁

This really helped me once I figured out that I wasnt working with strings. Couldnt figure out why traditional methods for removing duplicates in array weren't working.
