Find distinct rows

Like dplyr::distinct() but faster when lots of groups are involved.

f_distinct(
  data,
  ...,
  .keep_all = FALSE,
  .order = FALSE,
  .sort = deprecated(),
  .by = NULL,
  .cols = NULL
)

`data`	A data frame.
`...`	Variables used to find distinct rows.
`.keep_all`	If `TRUE` then all columns of data frame are kept, default is `FALSE`.
`.order`	Should the groups be calculated as ordered groups? Setting to `TRUE` here implies that the groups are returned sorted.
`.sort`	Use `.order` instead.
`.by`	(Optional). A selection of columns to group by for this operation. Columns are specified using tidy-select.
`.cols`	(Optional) alternative to `...` that accepts a named character vector or numeric vector. If speed is an expensive resource, it is recommended to use this.
