*Effects*: Initializes *c* with std​::​move(cont) and*compare* with comp,
sorts the range [begin(), end()) with respect to *compare*, and
finally erases all but the first element
from each group of consecutive equivalent elements[.](#1.sentence-1)

*Complexity*: Linear in N if cont is already sorted with respect to *compare* and
otherwise NlogN, where N is the value of cont.size() before this call[.](#2.sentence-1)
