$addToSetIfNotExists or javascript code as array operator

This would allow for unique if not last entry into arrays. Preventing: ['one', 'one', 'two', 'three'] But allowing: ['one', 'two', 'three', 'one'] Or perhaps (to run js code on the array at the db): `.update({}, {$js: {'array_field': 'var last = ""; for (var key in array) {if (array[key] === last) {array.splice(key);}}'});

    `array` in the javascript should be `this.fieldValue`. The `this` object in the script scope should at least have `{fieldValue: ['one','two'], fieldName: 'nameOfArray'}`. similar but off topic: This is in line with the required `eval()` global scope fix, if and when javascript requires `.bind()` to access variables in the outer `eval()` scope, fixing that access problem in the language using the existing `.bind()` construct.
